Sorry if this is an obvious question: I recently got hold of a magneto-optical
drive, and all the SCSI-HOWTO, etc are fairly brief and just said they are used
like floppies. Anyway, I did fdisk, then mke2fs, and mount. Then I can copy
files, etc to the mounted disc. But then if I umount and change the disc and
remount, it
would complain and the content would appear with the file name of the older one.
This behavior is not what I expect of use of floppies. I found that I can only
read a disc correctly by having it in the drive and reboot. Can somebody tell me
why is this and whether it is possible to change disc without reboot?
My kernel version is 1.3.68, with Adaptec 2940, the MO drive does not belong to
me and it is not very marked, but the boot-up message says,
FUJITSU Model: M2512A Rev: 1314
