The 1.44 floppy does not have this capability and of course it does not work if you try to eject your floppy-disk. My apologies, I'm used to a system where /dev/fd0 is really /dev/hdc, an LS-120 drive, which does have eject capabilities. Nonetheless, the messages need to be corrected: eject should coherently state that the device is incapable of the requested act, and the /var/log/messages lines need to be corrected, as they refer to a nonexistent program. you have to use /dev/hda device to mount your LS-120, /dev/fd0 and /dev/hdc is not the same. |
Description of problem: Executing the command "eject /dev/fd0" produces the error message: eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument And in /var/log/messages: Mar 24 11:24:35 dragon kernel: floppy0: obsolete eject ioctl Mar 24 11:24:35 dragon kernel: floppy0: please use floppycontrol --eject (The floppy does not eject, either.) Unfortunately, the 'floppycontrol' program referred to in /var/log/messages does not appear to exist in RH 8.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ~> eject --version eject version 2.0.12 by Jeff Tranter (tranter) How reproducible: At will. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Execute "eject /dev/fd0". 2. 3. Actual results: Produces error messages as detailed above. Expected results: Eject floppy disk from floppy drive fd0. Additional info:
