The floppy drive in not mounting.
System: Sony R505 Laptop with Docking bay (Floppy/Cdrw)
Contents of /etc/fstab:
| Code: | /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1

/dev/sda3 /mnt/extern/lab reiserfs noauto,noatime 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
Error Message:
| Code: | root@r505 linux # mount /mnt/floppy
mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist |
I am using this mount point as the only entry in /dev that even closely resembles a floppy device is /dev/fd/0. Additionally, there are entries for: /dev/fd/1, /dev/fd2, and /dev/fd/255. I have tried all of these and they don't mount. I've also tried /dev/floppy and /dev/fd0 which also do not work (as they don't even exist but I tried them anyway as they were the most common answers gleaned after searching this forum).
Floppy support IS compiled into the kernel and VFAT support as a module (M).
As a side note, everything else is working flawlessly and has been for quite a while. The floppy never worked as I had no need for it until now.
Thanks is advance for any help on this. |

The files in /dev/fd/ are file descriptors used by programs. Not floppy devices.
I have /dev/fd0 which is a symlink to /dev/floppy/0, and it works fine with compiled in support.
Since you say that /dev/floppy doesn't exist, something must be wrong... I'd search around to find out if you need to do something special to use the Sony Docking Bay. You can also check dmesg to see if a floppy drive is recognized. |

I also looked around google for a while looking for a clue that would be r505 docking bay specific, but the info I found cited no special circumstances related to the docking bay. I found both /dev/floopy and /dev/fd0 references as being workable without incident in expamples of r505's on the web. Not sure what is the deal with mine, seems everything is in place except for that floppy. Plus in know the floppy works as it was run in windows initially then suse afterwards.
