It usually means the floppy drive was not unmounted before you pulled out
the disk. This is a no-no in Linux.

No.

Did you update samba at any stage? The new samba that was released
right-royally screwed up my system too.

Had to change a whole bunch of stuff in the /etc/samba/smb.conf to get it
going again.

In fact, I was a bit dissappointed in that. I thought it was a security
patch, but something more severe was obviously changed.
