Hello Here is the entry for your fstab file /dev/fd0 /floppy ext2 rw,noauto,user 0 0 Note: You must creat the directory /floppy before trying to mount the floppy disk. Also this will only mount a linux formatted floppy. To mount the floppy from the command line 1. Make sure a format floppy is in drive A 2. Issue this command: mount /dev/fd0 3. To change disk you must unmount the floppy and then remount the floopy disk. umount /dev/fd0 now change disks and then mount /dev/fd0 Christopher At 10:45 AM 2/4/99 -0500, you wrote:
When I do put that line in and try to mount it by giving the command mount
/floppy/ it
says that only root can do that...
However when I change the fstab entry to......
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,noauto,user,exec,umask=000
and issue a mount /floppy/ command it says......
zuli@L31:/home/zuli > mount /floppy/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems
And also when I issue just the mount command to see what is mounted it says........
zuli@L31:/home/zuli > mount /dev/hda5 on / type ext2 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw)
It's werid :-)
I don't think the AUTO entry works. When I change it to ext2 or msdos, it works just fine
You could also use something like
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults 0 0
This way the file system is detected automatically.
