The kernel does not log floppy media errors anymore.
In fdcontrol, do always open the file descriptor in read-only mode so
it can operate on read-only media, as there is no longer a separate
control device to operate on.
fdcontrol/fdcontrol.c:
- Add const constraint to an intermediate value
which is not supposed to be changed elsewhere.
fdread/fdread.c:
- Use _devname in favor of devname to avoid name
conflicit.
- -1 is less than any positive number so in order
to get the block to function, we should get the
block a little earlier.
- Cast to remove signed when we are sure that a
return value is positive, or is compared with
an positive number (tracknumber of a floppy
disk is not likely to have UINT_MAX/2 anyway)
fdread/fdutil.c:
- Use more specific initializer
fdwrite/fdwrite.c:
- Use static on format_track since it's not
referenced in other places.
- Use const char* to represent string constant.
Bump WARNS accordingly.
avoid blasting the syslog with error messages from bad floppies. Both
tools have their own error reporting anyway (which could easily be
cluttered by the syslog output on your terminal).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
it onto a bunch of floppies in a semi-intelligent way.
Useful for things like: tar cf - . | gzip -9 | fdwrite -d /dev/rfd0.1720 -v
Where it will keep asking for floppies until tar is done.
