 Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2003 6:11 pm Post subject: floppy won't mount |
 |
|
I have a problem with my floppy drive. I think my fstab is not right:
| Code: |
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
|
So I decided to mount it manually, but that didn't work either.
I first thought my floppy was op /dev/fd0:
| Code: |
root@lokaalbeest seppe # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: slechte bestandssysteem soort, slechte optie, slecht superblok op /dev/fd0,
of teveel aangekoppelde bestandssystemen
root@lokaalbeest seppe #
|
translated: bad filesystem, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or to many mounted filesystems.
Suddenly, I saw /dev/floppy .. So I tried mounting that somewhat:
| Code: |
root@lokaalbeest seppe # mount -t msdos /dev/floppy/0 /mnt/floppy
mount: slechte bestandssysteem soort, slechte optie, slecht superblok op /dev/floppy/0,
of teveel aangekoppelde bestandssystemen
root@lokaalbeest seppe #
|
Yep, same error
I tried it as wel with 'fat, ext2, reiserfs' after the -t option, but nothing works. But I'm not sure of /dev/floppy/0, because in the /dev/floppy directory, I have a lot of other err .. numbers:
| Code: |
root@lokaalbeest seppe # ls /dev/floppy/
0 0u1040 0u1120 0u1440 0u1600 0u1680 0u1722 0u1743 0u1760 0u1840 0u1920 0u360 0u720 0u800 0u820 0u830

Try
| Code: | | /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,users 0 0 |
that should do it for you.
Also, note that in linux any FAT file system is mounted using the "vfat" fillesystem type, and not fat, fat16, or fat32.

Nope, it still doesn't work:
| Code: |
root@lokaalbeest seppe # mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/fd0 is geen geldig blok-apparaat
|
translation: mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device

| Did you enable support for the floppy in the kernel? |

At 'Block Devices' in my kernel I have'Normal Floppy Support' loaded as a module.

I would say you didn't compile vfat support in the kernel.. did you?
| Code: | FileSystems ->
[*] VFAT (Windows-95) fs support |

No, it is compiled as a module (M)
