i am afraid i don't think there is any graceful way to get out of a problem caused by peeking a look at the disk label whilst copying from it ;)
============================================================ From: Eric Worden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 20:22:43 -0700 (PDT) To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Dumb; help! I removed a mounted floppy I was using git, and while things seemed to be idle I snuck the floppy out to peak at the label. I put it back in. Then after the next operation I got: kernel panic: msdos_write_inode: unable to read i-node block floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 3 Now the program responds to nothing, not even KILL. To make things more interesting, I got the bright idea to mount the floppy again, so now two processes are in limbo. Is there a graceful way to solve this problem??
