Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 769 Lines: 27 Hi, Commit 88baf3e85af72f606363a85e9a60e9e61cc64a6c: "[PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendisk" causes an annoying side-effect. Upon first write attempt to a floppy I get this: $ dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k dd: writing `/dev/fd0': Operation not permitted 1+0 records in 0+0 records out Any successive attempts succeed without problem. Confirmed that backing out the patch fixes it. -cp -- Phishing, pharming; n.: Ways to obtain phood. -- The Devil's Infosec Dictionary - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
