SuSE 7.2 I can't mount my floppy disk although the machine boots from the floppy. Any ideas please? All was working well. History: I inadvertently deleted the contents of ect! and then tried to open the floppy to update some files that I had deleted. The machine told me that fstab did not exist. It was at this point that I noted that ect was in the bin! (by the way, never noticed before that there is no restore from the bin!) I replaced the files but it will still not mount the floppy I have tried several floppy disks, re-booted etc. Below is a copy of my fstab and the errors that I can generate. I'm sure that I used to use an fstab editor, can anyone suggest what it may have been? Adrian PS what are "proc" & "devpts" ? I don't remember seeing these before. fstab entry /dev/sda7 / ex2 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda5 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy msdos noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /windows/c vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/sda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0 Errors When trying to mount the floppy drive using a freshly formatted, known to be good, disk mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad super block on /dev/fd0 or too may mounted file systems. If fstab entry for the FDD is set to 'auto' I get mount: you must specify the filesystem type And if fstab entry for the FDD is set to 'dos' I get mount: fs type not supported by kernel
