Looks like an interesting package, but this bug worries me: http://bugs.debian.org/63955 $ sudo cpbk -r -n /dev /tmp/dev $ ls -la /dev/fd0 /tmp/dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 May 14 11:30 /dev/fd0 -rw-rw---- 1 root floppy 0 May 14 11:30 /tmp/dev/fd0 The original is a block device, but the copy is not.
