Device 02:00 (major number 2, minor number 0 see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt) is /dev/fd0. Did you have a floppy mounted at the time?

Hello again!
I may have put a floppy in a few days ago, that was the first time I've used it in ages (maybe that was the where the first set of messages came from). I certainly haven't used it today though, so I don't know where those sread errors just came from.
Did you ever unmount it? If the system were doing any kind of filesearch starting at a parent directory of your floppy mount point, or even if there were a filemanager open, the reads would fail in that directory and
Yes - maybe the find command from prunepaths, whatever it's called, is
trying to run.

I imagine, similar messages.
I virtually never use the floppy as I don't need it. These are the first times I've ever seen those messages though (I regularly check the log files as I'm quite paranoid after suffering a previous h/w failure).
Per my hypothesis above the messages wouldn't appear until such an attempt to access the directory happened.
