Hello.
I have strange trouble with my floppy drive.
Namely, in /etc/fstab I have:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 user,noauto 0 0
and when I'm mounting it following happens:

<insert first floppy>
mount /mnt/floppy
ls /mnt/floppy
<listed contens of THIS floppy>
umount /mnt/floppy
<insert second floppy>
mount /mnt/floppy
ls /mnt/floppy
<listed contens of FIRST floppy, not second>
i can edit files on second floppy(files really on first one),
and nothing bad in logs :(
I'm using kernel 2.0.33, mount-2.51.
The same with mtools 3.8, but when I'm booting to Win95
on the same computer - nothing wrong, everything fine.
I've sent message about it to linux-admin, and they've told -
it's hardware problem, but it's not :(.
What goes wrong?
Looks like kernel problem with cashing, or smth like this.

I'm not on the list - please reply directly to me.
TIA.
