Hello, everybody.
I have an external USB floppy drive which I can mount in three ways:
1) pmount /dev/sda /media/floppy
2) sudo mount /dev/sda /media/floppy [after creating the directory]
3) [double-click on it in Nautilus]
...but regardless of how I mount it, it takes a REALLY long time to mount, and then when I double-click on it agoin in Nautilus (it won't actually open it the first time I double-click it) it gives me this error:
Code:
Unable to mount the selected volume.
The error messages in details reveal:
Code:
Error: device /dev/sda is already mounted to /media/floppy
Error: could not execute pmount
Regardless of how I mount it, I can read the files in the console, but not in the file manager, unless I navigate through the filesystem to the mount point.
It really seems to be oblivious to the fact that the volume is already mounted.
I am using Ubuntu, Breezy Badger.
Any help would be well-appreciated.
