Package: fdutils Version: 5.5-20050303-2 Severity: normal I am trying to move to usb floppies in my environment. Unfortunately, superformat cannot grok usb floppy drives $ sudo superformat /dev/sdg Not a floppy drive Which is probably broken as designed. I am primarily looking to have something that does allow low level formatting of floppies to be documented. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages fdutils depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an Versions of packages fdutils recommends: ii mtools 3.9.9-2.1 Tools for manipulating MSDOS files -- debconf information: fdutils/fdmount_setuid: false

Hi, This is not a bug. You can read the following at the end of the package description: « Note that these utilities do not work for USB floppy drives, because these do not allow direct access to the floppy controller. » Please have a look at the package ufiformat instead.
