-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to mount an MS-DOS floppy disk. I get the following error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /floppy mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Here is the relevant info from /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 But wait... It gets better! Now, if I run mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy as root and then unmount it and rerun mount /floppy from my normal user account, it seems to solve the problem, at least for a short time. Is this a bug? Is there a work-around for this strange behaviour? I know there are the mtools commands, but I want to be able to run Unix commands on the files as if they are on the system rather than copying to the Unix tree, running the necessary commands and then copying the files back to the floppy, which is what it seems mtools would make me have to do. I also tried dosemu as an option, and it let me access the files and run DOS commands on them including a rather nice edit command, but it was extremely slow. Any ideas or fixes are welcome.
