Topic: How do I fix this Error being logged in Messages Log

Nov 10 03:49:58 linux kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:45 (floppy), sector 22

As far as I know the floppy drive shouldn't be being accessed.

Any Ideas?

I am running at daily backup using "BACKUP TO WORKSTATION - BACKUP2WS"

This runs at around 3am.

I am backing up
/bin,/boot,/dev,/etc,/home,/initrd,/lib,/opt,/quota.group,/quota.user,/root,/sbin,/service,/usr,/var

All to a windows 2000 shared folder which seems to be working fine.

Is the error I am recieved related to the backup?

I get LOTS of these errors

This isn't even 1/10th of the amount of errors I recieve.
