I was wondering if anyone else has issues with fdformat. I seem to break fdd's using it
This is the warning in the FAQ from http://www.toms.net/rb/ about what it can do. "Virtually all 1.44 drives support 1.722 just fine, but it is possible for an extended format to break a floppy drive, use tomsrtbt at your own risk." Here is the output of fdformat using a brand new Verbatim MF 2HD Floppy { [root@amd root]# fdformat /dev/fd0u1722 Double-sided, 82 tracks, 21 sec/track. Total capacity 1722 kB. Formatting ... done Verifying ... Read: : Input/output error Problem reading cylinder 80, expected 21504, read -1" } So my question is is there a specific brand anyone could recommend that doesn't break when used with fdformat? Or am I doing something wrong ? Platform is RH7.3 with a MSI MB not sure off fdd brand. -- James McDonald Systems Engineer _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
