Red face WTF, my floppy drive won't stop spinning!!!
Well the drive just keeps spinning.

This after running the umount command.

This is a software problem because I unplugged the power and plugged it back in but it still kept spinning.

Anyway to do some kind of "reset" command on it?

I looked for rougue processes and killed all of them but no help.

Just reboot and take out your floppy disk.

Darn, I was hoping to avoid a reboot, but freebsd if you say that's the only way then I guess there is no other option.

Thanks.
