Re: [expert] Floppy disk mounting problems

[Kit Ngan]

 Hi,

 I'm using Mandrake 7.0 on a laptop. My laptop has a removable CD and a
 removable floppy. THe CD is in there most of the time but if I do a df,
the
 command hangs for a long time because it's trying to stat /mnt/floppy,
even
 though the drive isn't there. This also causes problems with gtop. Anyone
 have an ida how I can correct this problem?

Hi..

I got my own method... try to turn off supermount of the /dev/fd0!
modify /etc/fstab

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0
