It in effect uses find on /etc/profile.d folder to find startup scripts. Find will trigger it. Downgrading findutils specifically to 4.1.7-4 fixes startup issues. ~ Find will not access the floppy drive when you execute "find - --version" but 4.2.10-5 will. Hmmm I am suspecting a bug although others say not. I would like to know though what exactly changed between 4.1.7 and 4.2.10 of findutils to cause this. Cygwin in itself doesn't have to be downgraded so cygwin api calls are fine (i hope). If anyone has find 4.2.10 installed on any linux or unix distro then post back here if it access the floppy drive. I am highly suspicious of the line that reads "static void init_mounted_dev_list(void);" though and similar lines that also have the word mounted. I can't really say for sure since there are alot of changes in find.c alone. Mount still access the floppy drive but it may just be a check to see if a disk is there. 1.5.11 had that as well. Don't know how far it goes and I think it is probably normal.

More floppy drive accesses information
FWIW, yesterday I upgraded to findutils-4.2.10-5 man-1.5o1-1 openssl-0.9.7e-1 and also installed cvs-1.11.17-1 Before this there were no access on starting Cygwin, but since then I have experienced the same as other people have reported.

Thing is, it's almost certainly an underlying behaviour of the windows OS rather than anything Cygwin is doing. It seems to like to scan the FD quite a lot. For example, if you've recently used wordpad to edit a file on the floppy, you'll see the FD get accessed every time you run wordpad again; it's something to do with it verifying the file MRU list. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: floppy drive accesses
No. It doesn't appear in the output from mount. I didn't change mounts; just ran Setup.exe and got the latest updates. --> mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /c type system (binmode) e: on /e type system (binmode,noexec) j: on /j type system (binmode) m: on /m type system (binmode) On Thu, Dec 09, 2004 at 10:43:01PM -0500, Larry Hall wrote: > At 12:12 PM 12/9/2004, you wrote: > > >I just upgraded my cygwin installation and I'm now seeing > >the floppy drive get accessed on various commands.

floppy drive accesses
I just upgraded my cygwin installation and I'm now seeing the floppy drive get accessed on various commands. What gives? The commands with this broken behavior I've run across are: find, df, mount at least. How do I turn this off short of ripping the floppy drive out of my machine? I've run filemon and strace and nothing is obviously accessing A: directly. -- Eric -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
