This is FYI:-eject-diskA-mount-diskB in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 03-Jun-1989 17:47:10 From: Unknown Subject: FYI: eject diskA mount diskB I just ejected a disk; call it disk A and I pushed in disk B and the system didn't realize that it was a new disk and scribbled all over it. I couldn't recover disk B by fsck and the data was lost (I had a backup though). One strange thing that happened was that after I ejected disk A. Automount prompted me to put it back in after several seconds (although I didn't explicitly ask for anything from the disk (there a always things going on which I am unaware though)). I dutifully pushed disk A back in the slot and then ejected it again. This time whoever wanted the disk didn't want it (at least not during the time that I waited to see if the message would appear again). So I pushed disk B in the slot and automount didn't realize it was a new disk and proceeded to torch the disk. Beware! ...eric
