I finally got one floppy to format from
superformat /dev/fd0u1680
Felt a great accomplishment. But, try do it again on several different
floppies and I get problems from the very start
Stops almost immeadiatly with lseek invalid argument, huh?
just re-enter the command and it doesn't do that again.
It trys and gives continuous
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector <number> upto and
past as I type this sector 1383 and keeps going forever.
Why does everthing with Linux have to be so damn complicated,
infuriating and cryptic?
Hell, I even try superformat /dev/fd0h1440, a normal floppy right,
immeadiatly fails with:
Verifying cylinder 0, head 0 Error, 5120 bytes remaining
Verifying cylinder 0, head 1 lseek: Invalid argument
Then immeaditly re-run the same command AND IT WORKS!!!!!
Running thru to the end and printing:
mformat -s18 -t80 -h2 -S2 -M512 a:
Just love apps that fail and then run normally.
