Hi all, After doing: prompt$ superformat /dev/fd0 hd prompt$ /sbin/mkfs -t minix /dev/fd0 prompt$ mount /floppy prompt$ ls -la /floppy drwxr-xr-x 2 francesc 232 4096 Set 8 10:10 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Set 8 10:10 .. Where does gid 232 come from?Is there a GID 232 on your system? What group ID is the floppy mounted as?
Obviously not, that's the reason of my surprise. Some days ago I soved the problem. The guid should be francesc (1000 as per Debiuan policy) but I supose minixfs uses only 8 bits for guid. That is 1000 % 256 = 232 which is a numeric guid unknown by the system. This means that I cannot use minix for floppies, which I used to, but ext2. Cheers Francesc Oller
