| |
I checked the archives of last month and didn't find this bug reported, so...
I have a 2.2.1 kernel, Debian 2 distr. and a parport ZIP drive (EPP 16 bit).
I use KDE 1.1 and clicked the zip-disk icon with the right mouse button and selected 'mount' to mount the disk. At the same time I decided I actually wanted to open the disk and after releasing the right mouse button clicked the left button on the icon. The result: two popups telling me they were trying to mount /dev/sda4 and a total lockup (not even the mouse moved, no console switching etc.)
I have not repeated this experiment again. I am not a sadist.
I suspect the two mount commands ruled deadlocked one another... -- Dennis van Dok
