Just curious: In that one screenshot, what is a "logical block" (= 13098476)? I thought blocks on floppies were far fewer than 13million? (It also says the physical block is 880.)
- tyingq 8y agoI believe the 13098476 is a hash table entry that maps to an actual location. Block 880 appears to be the Rootblock. "The Rootblock contains information about disk : its name, its formatting date, etc...It also contains information to access the files / directories / links". Where "information" is a chained hash table. My guess is that it looked up the actual location for that hash table entry and found the write error there. Or maybe the hash table entry location itself is borked.
