Floppy Problem

[Husse]

voice floppy

huh?
Can you read more than one floppy - put one in and read and put the next in...
Floppy is an outdated media, try to use something else because shortly there will not be hardware support in any new equipment

The fstab line for your floppy is correct
mtab is a file that lists what's mounted in your system and cannot be changed by the user. It is changed dynamically
Unmount the floppy before you remove it
remember - the command to unmount is

Code: Select all

umount

but you should be able to do it by right clicking "floppy0"
If not unmounted the content is still in memory and the system is unaware of any change when you insert a new floppy

My fstab shows this before mounting:

Code: Select all

/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

and then shows this after I mount the floppy:

Code: Select all

/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy0 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=borat)

Hope this is of some help to you.[/quote]

after mount - you show mtab, don't you? fstab does not change

and unmounting is to take place before the floppy is removed or you get the error. If it's removed it's not in mtab, neither an empty drive or the next floppy

You are correct Husse. My mistake. It was mtab.

I really shouldn't post at 12.30am with beer taken

No problems
And I should see that I write unmount instead of mount.
Post is now edited as it got rather strange
