Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I've attached my script that I use to unpack the floppy disks. Actual Results: Some of the floppys are mounted right away. Others take a 2 or 3 tries before I can mount them. Expected Results: They all should have been mounted right away. Additional info:
Created attachment 122808 [details] Script to mount loop back images
anything in dmesg when it fails ? does it consistently fail on certain images ? can you point me at some of these images if they're downloadable so I can try to repeat this ?
