Hi, everybody -- I wanted to reuse the OS/2 warp floppies I had hanging around. I wanted to make them ext2 filesystem, so issued the command (with the floppy in /dev/fd0, but _not_ mounted): mke2fs /dev/fd0
The drive light was on for a while and I got the info about formatting; and the prompt returned. Then I wanted to mount it and used: mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy where I got the message about "can't read superblock" ( I know this is not a good thing). Then I tried to umount it, thinking I'll just toss the floppy. But issueing: umount /floppy gives me: "umount: /floppy: can't write superblock" and my /var/log/messages shows: Jan 9 12:23:29 cmt kernel: Directory sread (sector 0x13) failed Jan 9 12:23:30 cmt kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 19 Doing a df: df: /floppy/: Input/output error Could someone tell me or point me to the place on the Net where I can read up on it how to get my /floppy back? Is it possible to fix this? TIA, damir
