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?? Eric Worden
