Subject: diskette change problems
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 12:38:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010329123831.A156@ghost.btnet.cz> (raw)
I put a write-protected diskette into fd0
cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0: readonly filesystem
then removed dikette, switched the plastic nibble
reinserted diskette
cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0 : readonly filesystem
removed the diskette
cat /dev/zero: a bunch of garbage, then kernel spasms about sectors not found and
commands not performed
reinserted the diskette
cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0: readonly filesystem
rebooted the machine
cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0: run OK.
morale: if you are not able to write on a write-permitted diskette, reboot the kernel
