Hi, As previously predicted, removing the 'sync' tag from fstab didn't solve my issue, when several comps copied stuff to floppies extremely slowly. I could confirm, that with AND without sync it takes about 20mins to put a single 500kb file to a floppy, independently which method/window manager/etc I attempted to use for copying the file(s). In the meantime I have 3 AMD comps _and_ one PIII with this feature, meaning, that I have _only_ older SUSE-s without this issue. I tried also various floppy-disks (, but all with FAT), several floppy-drives. Bug report will follow soon.
Best, Pelibali
Pelibali,
I'm experiencing the same problem. Just started using a new Suse 10 system. I use the floppy drive daily and writes are very, very slow.
Does anyone know of a fix?
Matt ======= Matt, Removing "sync" from the floppy line in /etc/fstab fixed my problems. Don't understand why it did not for Pelibali. I also set my floppy to manual mount instead of the subfs, automatic mounting. Don't know if that is the difference or not, but writes are quite fast now for me.
regards, Lee
