Hello, If I mount a ro dos-floppy, why doesn't mount_msdos complain about it, if I try to mount it rw? If I try to write to it my kernel hangs and panics. Why doesn't mount figure this out, before the kernel does? Is there a way to test this (the being ro of the floppy) myself? So I can make a wrapper around mount, which just checks this. Maybe a C/C++-function or something else? I found info about crashes when you remove the floppy in the archives, but not about this. And I couldn't find a solution for it. Greetings, Ronald. PS: Even minix does this better. :-) -- Ronald Klop http://node11a94.a2000.nl/~ronald/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
