Re: floppy disk being accessed but shouldn't

2005-04-11 Thread Shaffer, Kenneth

The shortest test case is sync.  Apparently it does something now. But
no data has been buffered to the floppy. My scripts have this command
strewn throughout to get around other problems with files created by other
scripts.

 If you're still having difficulties, you'll need to provide a small test
 case that shows us all what you're seeing.

 Subject: floppy disk being accessed but shouldn't
 
 Since I upgraded to 1.5.14, I hear the floppy drive being 
 accessed and yet my scripts, to my knowledge, don't do this. 
 Under 1.5.12, it was very quiet.
 
 I notice in the registry older mounts. Would cleaning these up help?
 
 Anyone know what tools or under what conditions a floppy 
 drive seek home
 is performed?  cygcheck has always done this, any other tools 
 changed to do this?

This has been fixed.  .14 is old already, try .15 (the latest).

cygcheck and strace, please.  1.5.15 isn't supposed to access floppies
as long as they are mounted on A: or B:.
