I am running eW3.1 (beta) and am having a problem with the floppy. If I
try to mount it from the terminal it tells me it is already mounted. I
can cd to /mnt/floppy and see the files. If I click on the floppy icon
on my desktop it tells me it is already mounted or busy. I can't umount
it from the desktop icon because it doesn't have umount on the menu,
it's still mount. If I try to umount from the terminal it says it cannot
create link /etc/mtab~, perhaps there is a stale lock file?

Can someone explain to me what the 'stale lock file' is all about, and
maybe a solution to this? This happened before and I couldn't figure
anything out so I rebooted. Would be nice if I could fix this without
having to reboot.

Thanks much,
 Vern
