tar -cf /home /dev/hdd
where hdd is the ZIP drive. Since there was no disk in the drive, the
system hung - no telnet, no ping, no response of any kind. If we use a
tape drive and there is no tape in the drive it just says:
/dev/st0: no such device
I think there ought to be a similiar message appear in this case,
instead of a hard lock-up. This is with 2.1.108, so I tried upgrading
to 2.1.122. But now on boot i get this message:
eth1: Infinite loop in interrupt, status 2011
eth1 is a 3com 3c509. This is repeated about 20 times or so and then it
hangs. I have another machine at home with another 3c509 in it that I
can use for testing if more information is needed.
