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
