Can't mount anything!
 
Hi
I run Mandrake 9.2 and have problems with mounting. When ever I try to mount something, say a floppy for example, this is what happens:

[root@genesisx mnt]# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: permission denied

Note that I run that command as root. Same applies for CDROMs.

Any ideas?

would u mind to share what ur /etc/fstab looks like plz?

it's saying permission denied on "mount"
maybe the permissions on mount are screwy. or he's not as root as he
thinks he is.

I bet you are trying to mount a supermount
 
By default mandrake tends to set up supermount as a means of mount drives. It uses supermount so you don't have to mount and unmount say a cdrom or floppy manually. If the drive is tagged as a supermount it will give you a denied.

hope this helps

Thanks, supermount was the problem after all! All fixed :^)
