Well I am a new user myself. So, I am not sure what all the parameters
mean.
But, here is a copy of my floppy fstab line and some comments.
MINE none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0
YOURS none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2 ,--,umask=0,user
\___/ \__/
this probably lets it read DOS and Linux disks__/ /
/
this is probably your problem, the user flag turns off __/
a lot of other flags (see man mount for details)
MINE ,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
YOURS ,iocharset=iso8859-1, codepage=850 0 0
\__/
/
I think this causes all writes to occure immediately.
Try removing the 'user' flag and see if that works. I would guess that the
sync flag would be good for floppies since you might remove a floppy while
there was still some buffered data.
I made my fstab lines exactly the same as yours and still no joy! This is getting serious, I can't back up anything!
