SubjectRe: Modified floppies can crash Linux (fwd)
Date
Letting the chips fall where they may, I quote David Woodhouse:
>Yes. Ext2 will panic the kernel even if it can't read a block on a floppy. I
>NEVER use ext2 floppies because of this.

Umm, man tune2fs...

...
-e errors-behavior
change the behavior of the kernel code when errors
are detected. errors-behavior can be one of the
followings:
continue Continue normal execution.
remount-ro Remount the filesystem read-only.
panic Causes a kernel panic.
...

Panic is the default. And ext2 is not very space efficient for a floppy.
