Floppy : I/O error
I've searched the forum (nothing worked) and found some unsolved problems.
I'd like to see more examples of /etc/fstab configuration about floppy & supermount. Could anyone send his "floppy" line ? Mine is -> /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy supermount user,exec,fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 My cdrom was happy with : -> /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom supermount user,exec,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom,ro 0 0 |
Here's mine for Mandrake.
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 Curious as to why you want them? |
I just con't read anything on my floppy!
-> i/o error |
As I said before, I can't read anything from my floppy. I did try with those lines in /etc/fstab and here are the results :
1) /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy supermount user,exec,fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 -> [input/output error] 2) /dev/fd0 mnt/floppy vfat user,exec 0 0 (even if I add sync, iocharset=..., or codepage=... wich is the default configuration) -> [unknown device : /dev/fd0] hope the last line shed some light on the problem |
Usually mandrake does a good job of setting up the automount (from my experience). I'm not sure why you keep getting the I/O error.
You may want to try the floppy you are mounting (you do have a floppy in the drive?) on another machine which is already setup and works. Other than that you will have to look up mounting manually. |
Check to see if the /dev/fd0 file exists. Do a ls /dev/fd* and see what you get.

floppy i/o :
1) /dev/fd0 exists 2) my computer doesn't even look at the floppy ! (no led (light) turned on) and I still get an i/o error. |
hello jean-charles
Well I got the same, What I did to slove it: - In the fstab: I just kept everything by default. (including the iso part.) do you have the same thing with root? |
Are you sure the floppy is even mounted?
Try "df -h" and see what you get. Also, try "mdir a:" and see what happens. |
