I've reported and asked several times here, but never got replies (other than: use gdb.. duh) See, eg, * To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org * Subject: /dev/fd0 close () hangs -- how to debug? * From: Jan Nieuwenhuizen * Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 12:14:57 +0100 _________________________________________________________________ Hi, I've never gotten my floppy drive to work under Linuxppc, it works fine under MacOS. When accessing the floppy, it sounds ok, but the close () system call doesn't return. After this, the fd0 device can't be accessed again because it's busy. The process can't be killed.
