"Wrote" a file to this filesystem and then dismounted it. The result was a nice crash. This strange behaviour is present even in the GENERIC kernel shipped with the 3.1-STABLE distribution. >How-To-Repeat: 1. pick a read-only DOS-formated diskette and insert it into the drive 2. mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy 3. cd /floppy; cp /etc/profile . # get an error and 2 kernel messages 4. cd /; umount /floppy # at this stage the machine panic()'s >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
