Halfway broken mount halfway solved
First, a great big "Thanks!" to Karsten (who has helped me before under a
different identity long ago) for getting the information about the floppy
onto the list. I was going to skip removing the floppy from fstab since
I figured it shouldn't make a difference, seeing how it was hard-disk
partitions failing to mount. But that fixed it! Oddly, the following also
produces a segfault:
ls /dev/fd*
For the curious, I have migrated to devfs, and the user with the same problem
(sorry I lost the message) seems to have also been using devfs. I use floppies
rarely enough that it is a minor nuisance commenting them out. Any attempt
to use the floppy also segfaults, so it could still be hardware I guess. It'd
be slightly a PITA to try without devfs as I've modified several files to
migrate more or less completely over to it. I've been using devfs for a while
and this is the first problem I've had with it.
I don't think I should post my fstab or error logs since this seems a devfs or
hardware problem, but I'd be happy to share via p-mail.
Basically just wanted to say thanks, it's pretty much back to normal :-)
