Oh yes, floppy in drive. I can mount it manually (as root) with "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt".
Which version of SuSE are you using? Also can you show the line in /etc/fstab for the floppy.
SuSE 9.3. Here is fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
Same as here, but I can access to floppy using Konqueror (/media) without having to mount anything by hand.
Try adding user as one of the options. It can go anywhere in the portion of the line that starts with noauto. I added this this to mine and the error went away but did not show the contents of the floppy. If I cd /media/floppy and issue ll all of the files show. Looks like another little bug that made it through QC and needs to get fixed.
The "mount" command shows:
/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid,user=robert)
Every time I click on the floppy icon in "My Computer" an additional mount is created and the mount command shows multiple copies of the above outout.
I had about the same problem with zip disks. I could not eject the disk because it was mounted multiple time (I had to unmount it as root to unlock the drive). The entry in fstab was: /dev/hdd4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 And it showed later in mtab as: /dev/hdd4 /media/zip subfs rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /media/zip vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=amigaphil 0 0 For another reason, I run once an automated repair, and when the program examined the fstab entries, it prompted me that there was no device in /dev/hdd4 (or something like that) and asked if I wanted to remove the entry. As I remembered there was a problem with the zip drive, I replied yes. Now I can access the zip disk just like the floppy, no need to mount it, no locked drive anymore. This is using Konqueror (/media/zip) . If I click on the zip icon from the 'My computer", I now get a "unable to mount" error message. Can you use your floppy with Konqueror (/media/floppy) ?
