- My recent upgrade to 0.99 from 0.98.5 has yielded a bug involving
- floppy disks. When I mount a floppy disk with a minix filesystem
- on it and I change directories to the floppy disk, I get errors
- using "pwd" and "du". "pwd" gives the error:
-
- pwd: No such file or directory
-
- but it works fine when my current working directory is on a hard
- drive partition. "du" works fine on floppy directories, but if I'm
- in a floppy directory and "du" a hard disk directory, like "du /",
- I get the error:
-
- du: cannot get current directory: No such file or directory
-
- I tried recompiling the utilities with no difference. I also grabbed
- libc.so.4.2 but that made no difference. I tried booting from floppy
- so my root directory was a floppy and mounted the hard disk
- partitions and then everything worked happily.
-
- Has anyone else experienced this minor inconvenience?
