GUI (KDE) Mounting of Floppy
Hello LQers,
I'm having a bit of a problem with my Slack installation. I don't use my floppy that often, so I hadn't noticed this before. When trying to user-mount the floppy in KDE - Konqueror, the floppy will mount, but Konq does not show the mounted icon for the floppy. The only way I know it's mounted is because I can access the data in the /media/floppy directory. Another problem is that since Konq doesn't show the floppy as mounted, I can't RIGHT click on the icon and unmount. I have to "umount" at the command line as Root. Here's my fstab entry for the floppy: Quote:

Mine is this:
Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 |
COOL! Mounting the floppy in the /mnt directory makes the difference. I wonder why? Well, it works correctly now. That's what matters.
Thanks, adriv! :) |
Well, I spoke to soon. It only worked once. After unmounting, it wouldn't mount again. Weird. :(
Current fstab: Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 |
This is a known bug:

Hmm... thanks rworkman! That does explain a lot. I think I'm having a similar problem in Mepis right now, too. I don't know about Mandriva. I'll have to test that later.
Thanks for the info! :) |
