Perhaps this is my fault: I changed fstab to look like this (I added "user"):
/dev/sdb /media/floppy1 subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync,user 0 0
You will need to remove the word user here. See the man page for submount.
OK, did that. (And rebooted just to be sure.)
Well, things have gone from bad to worse! I removed one floppy, inserted another, clicked on its icon and got three pop-up messages from "SuSE Hardware Detection" saying: A new hard disc was detected Open with: kfmclient openURL file:/media/usb-storage-odd-YEDATA-USBFloppyDrive:0:0:0p1 ? The mount command now shows: /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) /dev/sdb on /media/floppy1 type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /media/usb-storage-odd-YEDATA-USBFloppyDrive:0:0:0p1 type subfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) /dev/sdb2 on /media/usb-storage-odd-YEDATA-USBFloppyDrive:0:0:0p2 type subfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) /dev/sdb4 on /media/usb-storage-odd-YEDATA-USBFloppyDrive:0:0:0p4 type subfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) /dev/sdb3 on /media/usb-storage-odd-YEDATA-USBFloppyDrive:0:0:0p3 type subfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) And I can't unmount any of it as a regular user! Per the fuser command I am not referencing /media/floppy or /media/floppy1 anywhere so, if I understand the submount man page, the submount system should have unmounted things automatically. If this subfs stuff is supposed to make things easier, it has a long way to go to do so for me! -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert@paulsenonline.net
