Floppy drive
Hi,
I removed my floppy drive from the system. Still the open() system call returns the descriptor. Even the ioctl like GETDRVTYPE etc are going through fine. I need to find whether the drive is connected to the system or not. Can any one help me out how to do this.. Thanx Sundarraj |
I think the kernel only cares if there is a floppy _controller_ installed, until you actually try to access the media. I think that even disabling the floppy controller in the bios may not prevent the kernel from detecting and enabling the floppy controller.
