I did try 'umount -f' at that time. Someone else responded back then, noting that the floppy driver returned an error, which the filesystem paid attention to (and refused to unmount it). I'm pretty sure I had dirty buffers when the floppy went bad. However, this may have been fixed near that time (he seemed to know what the problem was), but the PR left open. -- Zach Heilig -- zach@gaffaneys.com Real Programs don't use shared text.
