Do a "man 4 fd" and see if you have it. The version I have is
way out of date though. Basically the fd0h series is for 5 1/4"
floppy drives, and the fd0u series is for 3 1/2" floppy drives.
(At one time the 3 1/2" device names were fd0H, and I do not
know why the change or what significance it had otherwise.)

Virtually all drives are capable of 83 tracks. The way to know,
is to try it and see if you get a properly formatted disk.
Just be aware that when trying 84 tracks (or if you happen to
actually come up with a drive that can't do 83 tracks) what
happens inside the drive is the head mechanism repeatedly bangs
against the mechanical stops. It *will* break. It might break
the first time you do it, or it may take 20 times. Listen
carefully (only try this in a quiet room) to the drive as the
formatting program approaches 80 tracks, and abort it immediately
of what you hear does not sound right.
Floppy drives are cheap, so there is no great risk in trying
it once to see what happens.

Do as you would with any company that acts like that .. turn up
at the shop you bought from, and tell them you'll avoid
that companies products, and would they please get their pcmcia cards
from reputable manufacturers who write drivers for their hardware that
enable you to use it!

I have had kind of the same problem. SuSE 7.0 Kernel 2.2.16, 40 GB IDE
disk. It started with the lack of access to certain files in /var/log.
Followed by boot failure (kernel panic/reiserfs panic)
Some time sooner I experienced several complete system failures when using
KDE2. (entire system hang without any cause!)
Though I can't help you (in fact I could use a little help myself :-() I
wanted to let you know that you are not the only one with that problem.

I used parted (which wasn't easy). Here's what I did.
1. I had to install the package from the cd.
2. I discovered that you can't shrink a mounted partition (which was a
problem because I have only the root partition)
3. So I booted from the redhat cd (install mode, not rescue (I'll explain
later)).
4. Mounted my /dev/hdb2 (partition I want to shrink) to /mnt/hdb2 on the
filesystem on the installation cd.
5. copied /mnt/hdb2/sbin/parted (I don't remember if that's where it was or
not) to /sbin
6. umounted /dev/hdb2
7. ran parted with the appropriet parameters.
8. waited
9. booted back to rh 7.2
10. fdisk /dev/hdb and made a new partition
11. mkfs the new partition.
It took a while for me to figure out how to do this, but I figured it out.
Thanks for your help, everyone.

True and I can imagine some scripts running rsync/rdist through ssh,
handle
this perfectly. However, the possibility to boot from a central server,
using central storage/backup, sounds great. The IMHO one bad
point about ws with discs, case you need to update the kernel, you have
no control if the machine does not boot and perhaps this box is not
this near to you...:-(

Groan. This is a faq.
man foo | col -b
should do most of it. If you want different size pages, read the man
pages for man and figure out your own pet way with -t and ps2ascii
and friends.

'man foo.1 > foo.txt' will often do. Otherwise, 'groff -mandoc -Tascii

I always used to prefer this (years and years ago). But the day when 30
people try and startup netscape 4.7 from a bin dir mounted nfs across a
10BT net you really don't want to be around ...

People do use my ENBD device in roo mode with clientside write-caching
turned on as a replacement for nfs root that uses just a single ro root
image. Apparently it works well.
