Recently, my floppy drive isn't working properly. The kernel often panics on unmount of a UFS floppy, and sometimes also while reading or writing an ordinary DOS-formatted floppy. Very often, the data is corrupted, but when formatting the floppy, it shows no errors. And once I tried to write a file (which is just a little bit over 1440k in size) to a 1720k formatted floppy (worked properly in the past), and the result was a complete system lockup. I had to do a hard reset to bring it back. This is reproducable. I'm running 4.10-STABLE. How can I tell whether this is a software bug or flaky hardware? Regards, Daniela
