Search the LKML archives, keyword floppy. Floppies work in raw mode with a patch, but FS access to mounted floppies will hang your kernel or destroy data. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
