Re: Dumb; help! I removed a mounted floppy



i am afraid i don't think there is any graceful way to get out of a problem caused by peeking a look at the disk label whilst copying from it ;)

I was using git, and while things seemed to be idle I snuck the floppy out
to peak at the label.  I put it back in.  Then after the next operation I
got:

kernel panic: msdos_write_inode: unable to read i-node block
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 3

Now the program responds to nothing, not even KILL.  To make things more
interesting, I got the bright idea to mount the floppy again, so now two
processes are in limbo.  Is there a graceful way to solve this problem??
