Suppose you have a *write-protected* DOS floppy and you do: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy <-- this is OK # cp somefile /floppy <-- a lot of error messages # umount /floppy <-- crash Now the system tries to sync the dirty buffers and fails. You have to press a key to reboot. Is there anything wrong here or FreeBSD simply does not handle this in a more elegant way? Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
