But as I said the problem stands or falls with the 'user' option for /mnt/floppy in fstab, so it's not critical. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: The GNOME floppy formatter only works when /mnt/floppy is manually umounted first.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2846 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-10 11:20 --- Found a workaround: add the 'user' option for /mnt/floppy in fstab. This should be the default, IMHO.
