I would however still like to know the mount command syntax to use if I do not know the file system on it and it hasn't already been mounted via the fstab file. Can I always use the mount point of /mnt/floppy? Help wit the mount syntax required.
mount won't know how to figure out the filesystem. You either tell it by what is in /etc/fstab, or you tell it on the command line: mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /share As for /mnt/floppy, it's nothing more than a directory. You can mount it on any directory, but you really only want to mount it on an empty directory. You could do this: mkdir /mnt/foobar mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/foobar -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 Building secure systems inspite of Microsoft
