superformat troubles
Hello,
I'm trying to format a floppy disk using superformat from fdutils 5.2pl4 but
it fails leaving the kernel in an unstable state. I'm then unable to run other
programs as the kernel tells me there is a bug in the free list.
The following trace comes from /var/log/messages after I did a power cycle to
reboot my workstation.
My system is running sparclinux 2.0.33 & libc6 980111 snapshot. The command
line I typed was either:
$ superformat /dev/fd0
or
$ superformat /dev/fd0u1440
The way the floppy is accessed in superformat is radically different of the old
fdformat from util-linux, thus it could be a bug in this program, but the
kernel could also be in fault. Do you have any experience on this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
