[Bug 381665] New: Cannot read EXT2 formatted floppy
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381665 Summary: Cannot read EXT2 formatted floppy Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mario_bz@mgtech.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Just tried beta1 which now displays a floppy icon on the system screen. However, when I put an ext/ext2 formatted floppy into the drive and click the message below appears. When I try a standard DOS floppy it works fine. I use ext2 for my grub boot and it does work fine so there is no problem with the ext2 floppies. I also tried adding: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 which I found in 10.3 fstab but not in 11.0, it prevented the message below but then other errors (missing /media/floppy) occurred and not data displayed. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, missing codepage on helper program or other error, error in some useful info found in syslog - try dmesg | tail. mario@linux:~> dmesg | tail sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 11 00 00 00 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Cache data unavailable sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sdc: [mac] sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 sdc5 sdc6 sdc7 sdc8 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 XFS mounting filesystem sdc7 Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: sdc7 hfs: write access to a jounaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only. hfs: write access to a jounaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only. mario@linux:~> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nothing changed. When I click on the floppy icon the floppy spins and a mount window with progress bar shows up. Then an empty window for the floppy, no files are displayed. Keep in mind that on 11.0 the /dev/fd0 was not even added to fstab as it had in 10.3. I don't know if that's intentional but wanted to make sure you knew. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will dump the use of the floppy since it looks like Linux support of floppy is downhill. I was able to create a grub boot CD to do the same job, I also tested using CDRW from Windows to Linux with no problems. Although this is clearly a problem you may wish to close it until someone else brings it up. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, the problem seems to be related to KDE and here are some test results: 1. On Gnome, I was able to mount and read and unmount using the graphical interface and right clicks. 2. On KDE4 I was not able to get floppy to work. 3. On KED3 things changed since beta3. I was able to double click on the floppy and it opened a window. But... it also added a "1.5M Media: to the My Computer devices which also worked. Then I tried to unmount (right click) and double click to remount. If I used the Floppy icon I got the same exact mount message described in my first post. But... If I clicked on the 1.5 Media item that stayed on the screen I could read it. So the floppy icon had the problem. Seems to me more like KDE related. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am bringing up a machine with a native floppy on Beta4 now. I will take the bug for now and report my findings. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
