Mounting Issues
I hate to ask this question because I've noticed it arising often when I searched but I could not find a straight answer. I am just a few days old to the linux experience.
I was trying to make it to files I wrote on a floppy disk during a linux session could be viewed on a Windows session but after many different tried at editing the fstab, I gave up and reverted back to normal. Or should I say, what I thought was default. Now when boot up, it tells me there is an error on line 7 (the line I've been editing). 1. Can someone tell me what the trick is to transfering files over from Linux to Windows (vise versa) via floppy disk? 2. Please help me fix my fstab errror? Here is my fstab: Code:
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 |
Hi!
I see, you use the supermount feature.. I don't, but try this: * comment the line 7 (add a '#' in the beginning of this line) * add a line like this one (the one I have concerning to floppy): Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 Code:
mount /dev/fd0 then do what you like and, when you've finished type Code:
umount /dev/fd0 I hope it helps Regards |
...and also, you can visit the documentation: 'man fstab', 'man mount' and 'man supermount'
good luck |
thanks Y0jiMb0 , that works perfectly! :D
does this solve the Linux to Windows issue too? |
I'm glad to hear it worked. It seems, it fixed the fstab problem, doesn't it?

So, check it and post your results Regards |
What is Supermount? And how do I disable it/enable it? I'd like mount/unmount on my own to get in the habbit of it.

Take a look on 'man supermount'; quite short and clear :D

Y0jiMb0 , it does appear to have solved the issue. I put a simple document from Linux onto a floppy and Windows read it fine. I see no reaason why it wouldn't work the other way around so thank you very much for helping me get this issue resolved so quickly!:D

Great! It's a pleasure to help... when is possible.
Don't doubt, lookformeb; ask when you have troubles (well, after checking the man pages and searching in the forum ;) ) Best regards :cool: |
