there's a problem and an Oops in 2.1.89, caused by the automounter:
When I'm automounting a floppy disk with timeout 1 sec (just as
suggested by an article in january's Linux Gazette),
the first disk, I insert, is automounted correctly.
When I change the disk, the old disk is *not* unmounted and when
I make a `df` for the mountpoint (/dev/a:/a:), there are still
the contents of the *old* disk visible.
Of course, accessing these files lead to an I/O error.
The problem now is, after about one minute, Linux Oops with the
following message:
"Kernel panic: msdos_write_inode: unable to read i-node block"
I don't remember the version of the automounter, but I think, it
was 0.3.14 or sth. like that...
Ciao and thank you
Christoph
