It is written to the process table, as witnessed by ps aux: root 342 0.0 0.0 344 212 p0 D 2:43PM 0:00.33 mount /dev/fd0 Note that when I write this, it is 4:23pm - almost two hours after I ran mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (running with any other -t option, or no -t option at all doesn't work any better.) The only way to free the device, is to reboot the machine. kill -9 has no effect (man ps says that the state D is uninterruptible, and brutha, do they mean it!!) I am running 4.1-RELEASE, with an SMP kernel. The hardware is a Compaq Proliant 1850, with an NEC 72065B (apparently...) floppy drive. dmesg: <---snip---> fdc0: at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0 <---snip---> I have just noticed this little lot in the dmesg as well: fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4 fdc0: Re-enable FIFO failed fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 7 failed at out byte 1 of 2 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4 fdc0: Re-enable FIFO failed Any ideas?
