Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert bad floppy 2. perform any operation 3. linux reports error correctly, first time, and reports read-only file system until next power up boot Actual results: Expected results: error reported, floppy replaced, error cleared Additional info:
You would need to unmount the filesystem and mount the new one when replacing the floppy.
Does unmounting the filesystem and remounting it work?
Filesystem was NOT MOUNTED ... I was doing a dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0 got an i/o error (bad sector??), it stopped, every time after that accessing with dd would claim READ ONLY FILESYSTEM ? Like it was not clearing the error from the floppy controller ????
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I'm closing this bug as its difficult to see how we can troubleshoot this issue. The reporter is starting with what they accept is bad media for reasons unknown. Please re-open if you feel this is incorrect however we will need to debug the issue using known good media only. Thank you for taking the time to file the original bug anyway...
