Happy New Year ! I did something stupid, when tired and working as root. I'm now getting this error when attempting to mount/read a floppy; "Inappropriate ioctl for device"
running 'hdparm -Tt /dev/fd0' returns the following;
/dev/fd0:
read(2097152) returned 879616 bytes
BLKGETSIZE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Timing buffered disk reads: read() hit EOF - device too small
BLKFLSBUF failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed:
Inappropriate ioctl for device
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
Thanks.
