I had a wierd crash today while trying to format
a scsi zip disk in mformat.

i made a drive in mtools.conf called Z: file="/dev/sd1c"
and attempted to format a zip disk.

mformat -t 96 -h 64 -s 32 z:

the zip drive ran for a sec and then a message came up
on the console saying

vinalbufs dirty buffers

syncing disks 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 giving up

automatic reboot in 15 seconds

the message in my telnet console was

buffer flush

short write
short write

now its fscking because it didnt shutdown correctly.

what did i do wrong?

please reply directly i am not on list anymore
