Hey there,

I was trying to look at a floppy disk, so I mounted it, and it hung. It 
is still hanging. I tried to kill it

kill 17381

but that didn't kill it. I'm kind of afraid to do kill -9.
Why would it be hanging on the mount, and will I destroy the data on the 
floppy if I do kill -9?

thanks,
maria
