Package: syslinux Version: 2:3.73+dfsg-2 Severity: important I can reproduce this reliably (I already ran syslinux successfully before and entered the command by accident):
adamantium ~ # mount | grep sdg1 /dev/sdg1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw) adamantium ~ # syslinux /dev/sdg1 file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? ^C adamantium ~ # <press any key> file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ? [...] At this point, mcopy (from package mtools) goes to 100% CPU and you need to kill -9 it. No idea if this is a syslinux or mtools bug, but as the calling program is syslinux, I decided to file here.
