Hey all,

I'm reading "BSD Hacks" by Dru Lavigne, published by O'Reilly. In the
section on managing floppies, it mentions that if you pull a floppy
without umounting it first, the next time to try to access the
filesystem, you'll get a kernel panic.

Is this true? If so, it would be the very first Unix that I've seen
crash from this kind of user-mistake.

Thanks,
Mike
