Everything is fine on this machine, FreeBSD3.2-R, wd0, fd0, cdrom - all OK. 1) tried on both kinds of floppies, BSD and MDOS. 2) tried writing to empty floppy drive 3) tried writing to MSDOS mounted disk with a BSD File System disk in the drive. Result: No crash, I am not sure why I did not get a message that I was swapping floppies of different file systems when I wrote a file. steps: 1) mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy 2) take out mounted floppy and put in the BSD disk 3) write the test text file to /floppy from /cdrom | . no diagnostic | . file was file, cool # Works fine. I guess I will find out why 'mount' or 'cp' did not tell me I swapped file systems in my, "check when I have nothing else to do" box. However, if I should have been told I would like to know. -d --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
