Subject:   [Q] cp error messages when disk is write protected, how to disable (see letter)
Message-ID:  <199709110919.MAA01625@main.univers.chernovtsy.ua>

When I mount dos diskette:
mount_msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /dos_disk
and diskette is write protected, command:
cp <something> /dos_disk
outputs lots of errors to the console.

The question is how to redirect ALL the error messages to some file.

I tried to kill syslogd, redirect stderr of cp to /dev/null, etc. etc.
but it seems to me that kernel generates all those message, so the only
solution is to patch kernel's fd driver.
Are there any other variants ?
(My system is FreeBSD2.2.2-RELEASE)

Best wishes,
Oleg Kolesnikov
