Hi, 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.
Sometimes it dosn't get fully written. It seems that the kernel just decides when it wants to write it, sometimes it's right away, and sometimes it waits.
How can I force it to do the write immediately?
Hi, Another solution is to use mtools. This works if your floppy is formatted as FAT. I found that it writes immediately and you do not have to mount the drive to put the data there. Just another way of doing it Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
