PROBLEM formatting a floppy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



        System Tools ---> Disk Management.
Hardware: LS-120 superdisk drive /dev/hdb; mount point = /mnt/ls120.0
Problem: could not format at VFAT or MSDOS. There would be some disk
activity (1.44 Mb diskette, or LS-120 superdisk), but the contents were
not erased.

Today (under KDE) I was able to format a standard floppy as ext2.
Strange behavoir with the Disk Management tool, though: If I do "unmount"
I could still open the /mnt/ls120.0 folder. If I do "mount" I could still
manually eject the disk. Normally, the mounted disk should be *locked*.

    Has anyone elsem used the disk management tool to format a disk or
partition?
