I'm running linux on a fairly small 386sx machine, with a 1.2MB floppy drive. Everything works OK except that I can't do backups with tar. I get one of two failure modes. (1) system goes into an infinite loop printing "Reset-floppy called". (2) The

I tried to background a make, and failed. That is make ^Z bg The result was an IOT interrupt, which killed the make.

It now appears that the floppy hanging I've reported is timing-related. I've managed to back up my system, though the procedure isn't one I'm enthusiastic about. I used tar -ML 1100 to create a number of disk files. I dump to /DUMP, and whenever it

I've just finished porting mg2a to Linux. I find the version of Microemacs supplied with the system (called "em") rather frustrating. Mg was originally intended as a "small" emacs that acts fairly much like Gnu Emacs. I've done additional work to

Some random oddities that I've noticed in getting settled into linux. None of these are serious problems, but they should be added to the list of thing to look into: (1) the ESC [ m command can be used to set colors. However its idea of color codes

Well, I've solved my problem of not being able to do backups to floppy. I still don't know why it was happening. It may be something substandard about my hardware. But what I found is that doing dumps to /dev/at0 was horrendously inefficient.

linux-activists - Charles Hedrick - Jan 26 1992 - 14:16

Well, I spoke too quickly. The patch I gave earlier today makes dumps with tar work. However you still can't read them. At least with the tar that came as part of the system. tar -ML 1200 will work for creating dumps. It causes tar to ask for a

What I did was first partition the disk under DOS 5.0 using the DOS fdisk, and then use edpart to delete and recreate the partition for Linux. This lets you have a big partition for DOS, but still have the old-style partition for Linux.

I'm a victim of what is probably the same problem somebody reported a bit ago: I have a directory that fsck complains doesn't have . and .. at the beginning. Whenever I try to look anyhthing in it, the kernel panics, claims it's trying to deallocated

linux-activists - Charles Hedrick - Feb 2 1992 - 16:28

What I did to recover my file system was pretty simple: patch the kernel so that the superuser can unlink directories, and then unlink the bad directory. Of course this leaves orphan files, but fsck can fix that. I recommend - having an option
