Hello,

I am trying to format a floppy with ext2 file system but each time I try,
mke2fs is hanging.  I am doing:

# fdformat /dev/fd0

and then

# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0

here, mke2fs does not finish and the light on the floppy drive will not
turn off.  I cannot kill mke2fs.

I have Suse 6.2 but I just tried upgrading the ext2fs.rpm to the one from
Suse 6.4 but with the same results.  I tried three different floppy disks
but no success.  I also have Redhat 6.1 on this machine and I can format
there with no trouble.  Does anyone know what's going on?

Thank you for any help,

Michael
