Same as here, but I can access to floppy using Konqueror (/media)
without having to mount anything by hand.

I had about the same problem with zip disks.  I could not eject the
disk because it was mounted multiple time (I had to unmount it as root
to unlock the drive).  The entry in fstab was:

/dev/hdd4  /media/zip   auto   noauto,user   0 0

And it showed later in mtab as:

/dev/hdd4 /media/zip subfs rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid 0 0
/dev/hdd4 /media/zip vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=amigaphil 0 0


For another reason, I run once an automated repair, and when the
program examined the fstab entries, it prompted me that there was
no device in /dev/hdd4 (or something like that) and asked if I wanted
to remove the entry.  As I remembered there was a problem with the
zip drive, I replied yes.

Now I can access the zip disk just like the floppy, no need to mount it,
no locked drive anymore.
This is using Konqueror (/media/zip) .  If I click on the zip icon from
the 'My computer", I now get a "unable to mount" error message.


Can you use your floppy with Konqueror (/media/floppy) ?
