I get this with the df command on the bad floppy: amberton: -root- /mnt # df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/ram0 16208 4892 11316 30% / /dev/ram1 8102 87 8015 1% /var/log /dev/fd1u1680 1664 490 1174 29% /mnt
This is the second floppy on a two floppy boot. The contents of the floppy are: amberton: -root- /mnt # va drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 5632 Dec 31 1969 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 640 Dec 29 09:22 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 137593 Jan 3 10:39 jbuster.lrp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24004 Dec 29 13:54 libz.lrp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10545 Dec 29 13:54 oidentd.lrp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18597 Dec 29 13:55 psentry.lrp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 309881 Dec 29 13:54 sshd.lrp I have tried the copy disk script from the new back-up of Dachstein. I formatted a blank floppy from WinImage on a Win box, then backed-up the above programs one at a time. The script shows the back-up was fine, the weblet page shows the error. The error only shows on the weblet page after I back-up jbuster. The script shows it was complete with no errors. This drive is less than 3 months old and was purchased new. This has me stumped, any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Simon Bolduc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] back-up error message via weblet, not via Putty Well an I/O error on a disk is never a good thing .... what you might want to do is try mounting the disk and see how much disk space you have. To mount it do one of the following depending on disk size: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (for a standard 1.44 MB floppy) mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt (for a 1.68 MB floppy) mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1743 /mnt (for a 1.743 MB floppy) then run df at the prompt. If you are using 100% of your floppy that could cause an error. Also it is possible that the disk is not being mounted properly (i.e. it is a 1.68 MB floppy and is being mounted as 1.44), or that the disk has a bad sector on it (possible but if you are getting the same error on 4 different floppies it may not be the case), or that there is something amiss with your drive. A good way to test if it is your drive is to make a copy of the disk and then try booting your regular system (don't worry about the multiple errors you get), then try modifying the package. If that works then you know something weird is going on with your floppy drive in the LEAF box, and should replace it. At $20 (CDN) it shouldn't be a huge issue.
