Ouze Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So, this is an annoyance rather than a problem, I think. I got a weird message that my array tested OK, which I thought odd because I hadn't triggered any testing. I checked my syslog and discovered my syslog is absolute full of the following verbiage: Mar 13 07:33:13 Shiva kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0Mar 13 07:33:13 Shiva kernel: floppy: error -5 while reading block 0Mar 13 07:34:14 Shiva kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0Mar 13 07:34:14 Shiva kernel: floppy: error -5 while reading block 0Mar 13 07:35:14 Shiva kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0Mar 13 07:35:14 Shiva kernel: floppy: error -5 while reading block 0Mar 13 07:36:13 Shiva kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0Mar 13 07:36:13 Shiva kernel: floppy: error -5 while reading block 0 I couldn't find a thread on this. Google seems to indicate this is the system looking for a non-existent floppy drive. Is there any way to track down what application or plugin keeps generating these requests and resolve it? I've attached my diags. shiva-diagnostics-20170313-0735.zip Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Is the floppy enable in the bios? If yes disable it. Link to comment
Ouze Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 It's disabled in bios. I just powered down and double checked. Link to comment
JonathanM Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 3 hours ago, Ouze said: It's disabled in bios. I just powered down and double checked. Which part is disabled? The controller or the drive call out? Most bios with floppy options have multiple locations that enable or disable various parts of the chain, all the way from controller to virtual floppy to hardware floppy. Link to comment
Ouze Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 You're right. It wasn't wholly disabled, it was also enabled in a different place (I think chipset options or something). I disabled it there too and the messages have stopped. Thanks! Link to comment
