It seems that supermount dies on some floppy formats. In particular,
a 1.68mb (1743kb) floppy with a vfat filesystem generates a filesystem
panic when attempting to ls /mnt/floppy (supermount or not):
Filesystem panic (dev 02:00).
FAT error
Directory 12: bad FAT
(repeats through Directory 20). It then presents a scrambled (and
unuseable) directory listing.
Upon attempting to manually umount /mnt/floppy (when using supermount)
for a manual mount, it causes a kernel panic. The error message is:
FAT: fat_truncate called though fs is read_only, uhh . . .
Kernel Panic: SUPERMOUNT panic (device (0/5): supermount_put_write_access: filesystem
not write accessed
A manual mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/disk generates the same errors when ls
and upon umount, but no kernel panic.
FWIW, I know that /dev/fd0 is not the correct device for this disk
(should be /dev/fd0u1743), but Joe Gnoob who sticks a DMF format disk
in his machine won't know that (and probably won't have /dev/fd0u1743).
