fd0: unformatted diskette or no
diskette in the drive
Cause
This message appears on the system console to indicate that the floppy driver fd(4)
could not read the label on a diskette. Usually this is either because a new diskette
has not yet been formatted, or a formatted diskette has become corrupted. This
message often appears along with "read failed" and "bad format" messages after
volcheck(1) is run.
Action
If you are certain that the diskette contains no data, run fdformat -d to format the
diskette in DOS format. (You can also format a diskette in UFS format if you like,
although then it cannot be transported to most other systems.) When the diskette is
formatted, you can write on it, if it was not corrupted beyond repair.
File descriptor in bad state
Cause
Either a file descriptor refers to no open file or a read request was made to a file that
is open only for writing.
Technical Notes
The symbolic name for this error is EBADFD, errno=81.
File exists
Cause
The name of an existing file was mentioned in an inappropriate context. For
example, establishing a link to an existing file, or overwriting an existing file are not
allowed when the csh(1) noclobber option is set.
