Subject: Re: ide-floppy & devfs - /dev entry not created if drive is empty
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 10:02:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D627641.4040301@cox.net> (raw)

This problem is present on all devices supported by the ide-floppy
driver. It won't be fixed until the ide-probe patch makes it into the
official kernel. At that point the /dev/discs/... entry for the drive
will appear at boot time even without media present in the drive.
However, without my other media change handling patches, the partition
entries inside the /dev/discs/... directory for the floppy drive will
not stay in sync terribly well when you make media changes.
