Microdrive locking up machine on suspend
« on: November 09, 2004, 05:51:26 am »
Hi,

I'm using RC5 and my old 340 meg microdrive to compile some stuff. If i switch off during compile it doesn't like it... when i switch it back on again there's trouble. The current process will exit, i won't be able to see /mnt/cf... when i do a ls there it just hangs. If i eject and reinsert the microdrive then it won't see it...

I have to reboot to recover.... I have formatted the cf as ext2, maybe that is causing the problem?  If i'm very careful to make sure that nothing is accessing the microdrive when i call a suspend then it seems to come back on okay...   I don't recall any such problems with my 1 gig CF Flash.
Gorgeous C860, 256 Sandisk SD, 1Gig Pretec 40x CF, PDAIR leather case & the really cool retractable iPDA USB sync/charge cable. Powered by PDAXROM BETA 1.

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.
