Thank you for the report, I'm looking into this.
> Since FOREVER before the patch, when using O_NDELAY, one could open the floppy device with no media inserted or even with write protected media without error. "Read-only file system" status is returned only when we actually tried to write to it. We have software still in use today that relies on this functionality.
If it's a project with open sources could you please give a link?
Regards, Denis
