Buffer i/o error on device fd0 logical block 0 solved

[Husse]

What is the Mount Manager?
And the error has something to do with the floppy....
On the other hand

Buffer i/o error on device fd0 logical block 0

is an error frequently reported on a failing install

It's on me - I'm not as well versed in KDE as in gnome so I did not remember that tool
Well something is screwed up - that's for sure
Post your /ect/fstab I have a feeling it's corrupted

Ok first off do yourself a favor and create a separate home partition
http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... _partition
This was caused when I saw you only had one ext3 partition
And yes - your fstab is screwed up
The two last lines in fstab

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto users,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0

These two lines work much better although the first line above should work ...

Code: Select all

/dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0

So edit fstab accordingly

Code: Select all

kdesu kate /etc/fstab

You should use gksudo (gnome) or kdesu (KDE) for GUI apps

You had

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto users,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0

and I suggested

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0

fd is the floppy there could be more than one but now hardly even one so fd0 is the existing floppy
The rest is different options when it's mounted and a CD/DVD should have iso9660 which is the filesystem, user and exec so anyone using it will have full control and noaouto so that it's not mounted without a disk in the device and the two zeros to indicate it's not to be checked by fsck
The first line had a few to many options....
Oh and today hard disks are sdx while CD/DVD are hdx
