When I do the following:
#mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /a
#cp -p file.name /a
then I get:
cp: chown: /a/file.name: Invalid argument
panic: msdosfs_unlock: denode not locked
and of course my system reboots. (This is 2.0R and I am logged on as root.)
Cp works o.k. if I omit the -p but then of course the file copied to the
floppy has a new date/time of modification, not what I wanted.
What am I doing wrong? (I'm a UN*X and FreeBSD newbie, though not new to
computers.)
Isn't a panic a rather extreme reaction to an attempt to copy a file (even
if invalid)?
