What is this subfs business? I don't think I've run into it before, and it seems to be a problem to a whole batch of people posting here. Why not just delete it across the board and go back to the fstab design that we had 5 years ago?

[06-06-04 07:20]: I've just realized that in 9.1 floppies are mounted read only, which
means you can't delete files or copy anything to floppy. I unmounted and then mounted RW, but it does not work. I looked silly running
to a>WinXP computer to write a floppy I could not write in SuSE Linux
:-)>Solution?
mount -t vfat -o user,exec,rw /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
This is what I tried, and these are the reults:
when I try to delete a file on the floppy:
Access denied to /media/floppy/setup_p.ini
when I try to copy a file to the floppy, I get :
Writing to drives is not supported
First, have you tried mtools? From 9.0 I have had no problems mounting a floppy. The mount command, above should be issued as root. If you set up and entry in /etc/fstab, then you can mount and unmount as a regular user. Here is my fstab entry: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
