>Organization:
The Internet Solution
>Environment:

Standard i386 Pentium 133 server with UW-SCSI and standard 1.44M floppy
drive.

>Description:

If I mount an msdos floppy read-write when the disk has write protection  
turned on it hangs the system. This sometimes happens if I access the disk
and everytime I try to copy to it. I am not aware of this being fixed in
-stable.
