Only rarely anymore does one have to read of write diskettes, and I am having to do so now for the first time since I installed openSuSE.
I have a floppy disk containing files. I can read these files in another OS using the same floppy drive on the same machine, but not in openSuSE.
The Disk List in the Konqueror /sysinfo display shows that the available space on this diskette is much smaller than the total space, so it does see that there are files there. According to the Properties for fd0, the diskette is mounded on "/media/floppy".
The following is the line in fstab that relates to the floppy drive:
***** /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 *****
When I click on the floppy-disk icon, Konqueror opens a window, showing the Location as: "media:/fd0", which doesn't look quite the same as the alleged mount point. The window is empty, although I know that there are files there. In the Konqueror view of directory "floppy", the status line at the bottom shows "No Items - No Files - No folders".
The permissions for the floppy drive are RW for the owner (which is me), RO for group and others. It is not possible, even as root, to extend writing to group.
Can someone help me see what is wrong here?
Try on a konsole "ls /media/floppy". If it fails, try "mount /media/floppy". If it works, don't forget to umount. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
