Nope, it says /floppy is not mounted according to mtab, which is correct,
/floppy is not mounted. Someone else suggested checking the codepage modules,
but this is not the problem. I have no problems mounting/umounting floppies
until I (try to) mount a non-formatted one. Just in case, however, I loaded
the modules manually anyway. No luck. Like I said, I can still mount the
floppy to other directories, but that doesn't solve the problem. The
floppy module never gets unloaded and /floppy can't be mounted to. This
is unacceptable.
I would think this is a bug in the kernel (the mount() call) or in the mount
program, since mount segfaults before its done. I'm guessing it isn't
unlocking the directory or something.
