mondorestore hang - no floppy present

[Bruno Cornec]

The problem has been reported on the ML and is stored here so that it's not forgotten:

> >> 10828 0           280 S   sh -c mount /dev/fd0u1722 /tmp/tmpfs/mondo.tmp.17767/ ...

I checked the code, and you're right. The mount is done unconditionaly
:-( And after 15 seconds it's killed. In your case, as the access
remains in the D state, it will never return, thus the issue.

What you can do is comment the lines:

    sprintf(command, "mount /dev/fd0u1722 %s", mountpt);
    sprintf(tmp,
            "(sleep 15; kill `ps | grep \"%s\" | cut -d' ' -f1` 2>
/dev/null) &",
            command);
    mr_msg(1, "tmp = '%s'", tmp);
    system(tmp);
    res = run_program_and_log_output(command, FALSE);
    if (res) {
        sprintf(command, "mount /dev/fd0H1440 %s", mountpt);
        res = run_program_and_log_output(command, FALSE);
    }

in mondo-rstr-tools.c and replace it with:
res=0;

I need to find a better solution of course.

Should be fixed in rev [1496]
