Dr. Ephemeron Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 (edited) Any time I try to access the floppy, MDK 10 goes into some sort of read loop trying to read the floppy and it goes on forever and sometimes it stops and sometimes I have to kill the power on the computer. I tried the exact same fstab line that I used in 9.2 and also tried disabling supermount and no go. I can boot up in windows and the floppy still works fine.

Are you using magicdev? type su (it will ask for your root password) ps -aux |grep magic then post the output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ephemeron Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 (edited) I actually removed magicdev with rpmdrake just to see if that would do the trick. That ps command you gave me gives this error: # ps -aux |grep magic Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?

Dr. Ephemeron Posted March 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) I reinstalled and that fixed it. Althouth copying a file from the floppy is about 4x slower than copying a file to it. Edited March 19, 2004 by Dr. Ephemeron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
