Check this bash script for me, please.
#/bin/sh
#
# if a floppy can be formatted 1.68 megabytes
# with 0 bad blocks
# else
# format 1.44 megabytes
# fi
# mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0
#
if (superformat /dev/fd0u1680 && badblocks -c 512 -n /dev/fd0u1680);
then
mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0u1680
else superformat /dev/fd0u1440
mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0u1440
fi
mdir
#
I'm thinking that 'badblocks' can find bad blocks and still return
a 'true' condition. If this is true, is there any way to cause
the smaller format?
If 'superformat /dev/fd0u1680' fails, it drops back to '/dev/fd0u1440'.
