What release of SuSE, and are you using a custom or stock kernel? How did you format the floppy? Did you use fdformat(8) - This does the low level format Have you tried to mount it without the -t option? Have you tried the use the mtools packages. Mtools allows you to read/write floppies without mounting and unmouting. Have you mounted a flash menory device. These are also formatted with VFAT.

the same floppy mounts perfectly with ext2 file system (fstab is "auto")
How can I make mount know about floppies?
thanks jdd

What release of SuSE Sorry for this since the subject specifies 10.1.
On my laptop (10.1) the vfat module loads automatically when I plug in a USB
flash stick.
Try loading vfat manually before mounting the floppy.
'modprobe vfat'

Try mounting without using the "-t" option, let the kernel figure out the filesystem type. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
