Hi Yann,
I am another "victim". I have e-mailed this list, but despite all the answers the problem persisted... only with msdos/windows formatted floppies. Now, I only mount floppies as root at the command line (not sure that solved my problem, but it has significantly decreased error ocurrences). Alvaro
Let me second you on the floppy problem. I have spoiled a coupled of diskettes this way. My sequence was the following:
Mount /floppy clicking on the icon in KDE. It opens fine. Then unmount the diskette, insert another one, no matter how I open it, either explicitly with mount command or clicking floppy icon in KDE, I see the contents of the previous diskette. Moreover, when I unmount the second diskette, it's content is overwritten with one from the first one, i.e. lost. Only rebooting the system helps.
That was on 6.3 system. I haven't tried this kind of experiment on 6.4, now I always make sure that the diskette is write-protected when I insert it into my SuSE system.
Regards, Kastus

" Hello
I've just recieved a Siemmens Fujitsu C series laptop and I face two different problems (suse 6.3 out of the box):
when I mount a floppy disk the files and directories in /floppy/ are not
the ones on the disc but those who where on an old one. even mounting unmounting under root (with -tmsdos or other options) I can't see the real contents of the disk. But if I use mtools (msdos floppy) mdir shows me the real files. anyone knowing a solution ?
after a suspend, the time is wrong. the hardware clock is on local time but after each suspend mode the configuration file says it's GMT. I have to use Yast to put it back on local time and SuSEconfig to set the good time value. But if I reboot the PC time is ok. Any solution ?
thanks
Yann "
