E.g for a 1.44 MB floppy, /dev/fd0u1440 The rationale is that your generic device may be set to some different, higher capacity, hence geometry. In that case, of course the verification will fail. And remember that after you format the floppy, you must then lay down a file system. mkX /dev/fd0u1440 where X is the file system you want, e2fs, dosfs, etc. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
