Hello,
I tracked down the problems with floppy and found out, that mounting with
an explicit "-t vfat" led to the problems described in earlier mails
(read errors, FAT bread failed ...).
Mounting the floppy _without_ explicit type recognizes msdos (no long
filenames, ...), but the floppy is readable.
So obviously the problem lies in vfat-fs-code. I compiled vfat-fs in, not
as a module.
Mounting first as msdos, then as vfat, then all works well.
(mount -n -r /dev/fd0 /mnt; ...)
Mounting first as vfat, then the floppy isn't readable until reboot.
(mount -n -r -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt; ...)
Both variants start with "Trying to lock fdc while usage count=0".
With vfat mounting first, it continues with
"warning: usage count=0, CURRENT=c0261950 exiting"
"sect=0, cmd=0"
"floppy0: fractionary current count b=0 s=0"
[...]
Maybe some initializing variables are not set with vfat ?
Does someone need more information ? Full log on request to save
bandwidth.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / kind regards
