I've noticed an annoying thing when writing to floppies. OK, say I'm in a hurry......... I would mount the floppy , and write to it. Then I wait for floopy activity to stop, and issue a umount command and remove the floppy.
The umount command should not return till the floppy has really finished writing and can be safely removed. I usually just copy things, and then (immediately) umount. When I get the prompt back, the floppy stops spinning and I extract it. It has never failed for me. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
