Objet : dxadvfs scanning floppy disks in V3.2x -- fixed in V4.0x
>I have it on good authority that the symptom you were seeing of the floppy
>disk drive being scanned by the dxadvfs utility has changed in the V4.0x
>versions of the software; here's what the responsible folks said:
>
> The 3.2* release of dxadvfs did indeed scan floppy drives unnecessarily.
> It only does so when the dxadvfs is started.
>
> This behavior was altered starting with release 4.0. Disks are scanned
by a
> daemon, and floppies/cdroms are excluded.
>
>So, when you update to V4.0x, and install the updated AdvFS utilities,
>you'll see a somewhat friendlier behavior.
>
>Hope this is useful information for you, and an incentive to plan for an
>upgrade to the newer version sometime in the future.
