Yesterday when I tried to use my floppy I was a little bit confused.
My computer hanged up and I couldn't even as a root do anything.
I wasn't able to print processes working on my machine.
After hardware reboot (system hanged up when killing processes on shutdown) I saw that
on my system logs was a lot of lines like this:
Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0)
Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x0000478c)
Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: File system has been set read-only
Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0)

Jun 8 23:58:26 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0)
Jun 8 23:58:26 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x00007872)
As you can see 4-6 messages per second!
For me it's a kernel bug. But maby there is some solution not to repeat this situation?
Sorry for my English - I still learning.
