When I do (at F17 i686 kernel 3.5.2) high-level FAT floppy disc format ("mformat a:" which work with /dev/fd0), then mformat process will remain forever in uninterruptible sleep state, thus is non-killable. Ejecting floppy not solve this too, and it seems as machine reboot is only solution (I'd like to mislead).
Although this situation is perhaps induced by some defect on floppy disc, it seems as floppy driver is broken. Should it have some efect bugreport this issue, or fd is dead kernel module yet?
