Hi All I suspect this has been round before.I had'nt noticed it as I rarely use a floppy these days. But that friend noticed it ,( I suspect I have misspelt friend, in his case maybe the "r" is missing). I've checked my machines and they all do the same. Which ever app uses the floppy drive first time dos'nt release it, so the next time its used with a different app you get the error message that the device is busy. eg. when starting with nautilus then win4lin or mtools Whats the preferred option in fstab for the floppy ?

After failing to get PartitionMagic to properly resize my partitions, I gave up and reinstalled Mandrake 7, rebuilding the partition table during setup. Now, during initialization, it says "fs type supermount not recognized by kernel" and my cdrom and floppy drives require manual mount/umount. How can I get supermount to work? Since I work from inside KDE and BlackBox, it's a pain to have to keep typing mount/umount every time I change a floppy or CD. = Mage Grimau, Strange Unwashed & Somewhat Slightly Dazed __ Do You Yahoo!?

Downloaded 2.4.0-test11 and the supermount patch, compiled and installed everything, just one problem. I ran 'supermount -i enable' to modify /etc/fstab, this worked perfectly, but I'm having problems understanding how exactly to use it. When I ran the mdk kernel before (the first 30 minutes after install, I have been running devel kernels the last years) it worked automagically. I just poped a cd in the drive and *tada*... it was mounted! Went back to the supermount homepage, but I couldn't really understand the readme there, just got more confused.

Hi, I stuck 2.4.1 in tonight and realized I had forgotten about patches for supermount. So in my search, I can no longer find the information on it. So my question is: Wasn't there a patch for kernel 2.4.1 that when applied gives it back it's supermount capabilities? And from where might one download it? Thanx, -s

Hello: I've compiled new kernel 2.4.6 in my MD 8.0 frequently #2, and now I've lost supermount with all kernels (included 2.4.5-mdk). I used "supermount -i enable" but I can't get it back. Any help? PS: Someone knows where can I get supermount patch for 2.4.6 kernel. Thanks for your information. Fedneg

Yes - I thought of experimenting with udf, but for that I would have to get rid of supermount, I think. In fact, I wouldn't think I could use auto mode either.

I know some parts of this statement are position-sensitive, but I don't know which ones. Try moving the 'user' forward. Apart from that I can't see any obvious difference between your and mine.

RE: [expert] supermount
I dont remember, its been awhile since i have used supermount. Once i started having the probs a few months ago i disabled supermount after reading an article somewhere stating that it has been badly written or something to that effect that it is a non-worthy app. Personally i would not like it automounted, i even disabled autofs when MDK used it. So i just do use any automounting features anymore. If i want something mounted at boot then i put it into /etc/fstab or into another script to mount it on boot up or something.

Re: [expert] supermount
Hmm, wait a minute... I think I figured it out: I seem to be able to mount /mnt/cdrom2 without a cd being in the drive... And from the moment that's done, it all seems to work... if I insert a cd, its contents are correctly displayed, I can eject it without unmounting, and I can replace the cd and it will detect that and get its contents right again... so that would mean I should just remove the "noauto" from fstab, and I should be fine? Is that how it works?

This reminds me: Normally I mount via CLI and use mc or just the CLI on a CD (rpm or mv or ls, etc.). Just the other day I used the CD icon on the KDE desktop and konqueror opened with the contents of the CD. I looked at it and closed konqueror. Next time i tried to open the drive it did not. So I did an 'umount /mnt/cdrom' but it told me that the device was in use. I had to open Konqueror, change to a different directory and close Konqueror. Then I was able to open the drive. So Konqueror saves it's status somewhere when you close it. If you close it with the contents of a CD on display your CD remains 'in use'. wobo -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.

Re: [expert] supermount
Sorry for coming in late. > I seem to be able to mount /mnt/cdrom2 without a cd being in the > drive... Yes. once you have enabled supermount in the fstab, you have to call "mount /mnt/cdrom2" to actually activate it. >And from the moment that's done, it all seems to work... if I > insert a cd, its contents are correctly displayed, I can eject it > without unmounting, and I can replace the cd and it will detect that and > get its contents right again... Good. so it's working. > so that would mean I should just remove the "noauto" from fstab, and I > should be fine? "noauto" is a parameter that means that this drive is NOT included in the list when you tell the fstab to mount everything. for example, when you issue an "mount -a" (this means 'mount every drive listed in the fstab) drives with the "noauto" flag are skipped, and thus, say unmounted.. > Is that how it works? seems so. > Thanks > > Hans Damian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This is a bug in konq, and apparently, it's being worked out for MDK9.1, since i read a longish thread about it. The problem is quite simple: Konq likes to update the directories it's showing. for example, use konqueror to navigate to a directory, and then delete one file from a terminal. the directory view in konqueror gets updated almost immediately. When konqueror is showing the contents of a CD (or was showing is and therefore it's in the 'history') and you remove the CD, konq tries to see what changed, and this triggers the remount of the CD instantly.

Otherwise, the supermount module will still be loaded, but it wouldn't work again when I reboot, unless I'd manually mount it to activate, as you said... So removing the noauto option would make sure the system activates on reboot, which is the desired behaviour I guess... Thanks to all replying people..

Re: [expert] supermount
Hi Replying to Anne I had user missing from that line , so I added it and rebooted. Exactly the same happens, even tried killing nautilus. So I changed the fstab entry to ext3 mtools works so does win4lin :) If I manually mount the floppy drive Nautilus can see the contents but mtools and win4 lin cant until I unmount it. So next read the Nautilus help file, so right mouse click on the desktop and select disks> floppy and nautilus cant mount it. So it seems that nautilus dos'nt release the mount for other apps to use when supermount is used for the floppy. ps ax shows that for each floppy or cdrom icon on the desktop nautilus has an active process.

[expert] supermount & floppies
Hi all! I am using the mandrake kernel 2.2.17 with supermount activated (I have tried compiling it into the kernel and as a module) I have the following problem: *) if I cd to a (super)mounted directory on a floppy(e.g. /mnt/floppy/XYZ/ where /mnt/floppy is the mount point for the floppy) and I remove the floppy from the drive, doing an ls leads to an i/o error. Nothing wrong with that. BUT: supermount is unable to mount floppies after this procedure until I reboot my machine. *) before the said procedure, producing i/o error messages takes about 2 seconds. After the procedure it takes about 20 seconds (Maybe this is significant to you...) Does anybody have an idea as to how to solve this problem? Does anybody happily use floppies with supermount without problems? Although I haven't checked, I guess the said behaviour should be the same for CDs... Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Re: [expert] Supermount
Well, problems problems. I ALWAYS compile my kernels with supermount support built into the kernel, not as a module, because for some items I get tired of problems with modules not working (like sound modules...I HAVE to build my driver into the kernel or sound will not work). So, I built supermount support into my 2.4.17 kernel but after I added "user" to the supermount lines in my fstab and then tried to mount the floppy, I get "supermount fs type not supported by kernel". GAH! I DID build it INTO the frickin' kernel. It HAS to support it unless the "code" for supermount in the 2.4.17 kernel is a joke, just some null text. Anyone else have problems like this?

Since it works fine for me on 8.2 with a 2.4.19 kernel that I built myself, you could try that route on 9.0. Giving up supermount is not an option if you happen to play games, native or via wine, and they require CD changes. Supermount allows you to change CDs on the fly without wrecking the session while old manual mount/umount screws it up.

Not really. It still happens in 98 and 98SE; i.e., bluescreens when Explorer attempts to access media that "no longer exists." Not only does this include floppies, but also CDRoms. Most of the time when their software engineers approach a problem, they take the stupid approach. Within their organization, different groups that are in charge of different aspects of the OS do not communicate with each other except on a very basic level. The communication is not nearly as comprehensive and open as it is in the GNU world. In fact they are encouraged to compete with each other.

Just another note on supermount. I am using 8.2 with a self-built kernel 2.4.19-9mdk. Supermount works fine on this system. Perhaps the 2.4.19 kernel in 9.0 is re-broken for supermount. It is generally not the fault of the distro when supermount goes south, but the kernel developers. The supermount problem is a recurring problem that shows up periodically with new kernels. You could get the 2.4.19-9mdk and either build it or install a binary. -- Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor...the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. --unknown Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Mandrake is the only distro that adds the supermount patch to the kernel.

I haven't installed the kernel-updates, but I'm assuming that you turned supermount off with the original kernel.

[expert] Supermount stopped working?
Dear experts, Recently I am having a problem ejecting a Zip disk. I use supermounting and the mounting part works ok: I can see files on the zip after I plug it in. However, it doesn't want to eject: the eject button is ignored until I log out of KDE, only then I get my disk back. It seems the unmounting part is not working? I use MDK 8.2 and KDE 3.0.3. Any ideas will be appreciated! Thanks, Aleksey Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Had a similar problem when I installed kernel-2.2.16-4 Since my cdrw is an ide I also use ide-scsi module.

[expert] Supermount not supermounting?
Hi, I've got a problem after Freqing my 8.0 install If I've got a CDROM in the drive at boot, it mounts OK, But if I try to change the CD I get the following shoing in my logs Jul 2 00:01:58 darkwing kernel: cdrom: open failed.

Re: [expert] Supermount on upgrade
Theo, There are no packages - it's part of the kernel. It's just a matter of whether it's switched on or not. Your lilo settings handle this. Look at /etc/lilo.conf If your linux boot stanza includes "devfs=mount" then it's on. If it's "devfs=nomount" then it's off. Switch it on or off as you like by editing lilo.conf as root then running lilo. You can also use the supermount command as root to update /etc/fstab appropriately, or to just try things out without updating. Type "man supermount" to learn about this.

[expert] supermount and usb-storage
I just had an interesting experience with supermount and usb-storage. Perhaps someone can give me some help. I have a MS-Natural-Pro keyboard with integrated usb hub. I also have a "universal smart drive" keychain 32M flash usb "drive". I decided to try to use it with supermount. For the most part, it works. /mnt/keychain /mnt/keychain supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=vfat,--,umask=0,sync 0 0 But when it was unplugged, and I did a "df -m", the df process became hung and unkill-KILLable. My little wmmon load meter started gradually going higher and higher, until it was at a load of about 10 (10 bars). Eventually, when I tried to plug the keychain back in, the df got killed, and could execute just fine, and the load returned to normal. Is supermount just not designed to work with usb-storage? Is there a bug that needs fixing, or a kernel I could upgrade to to fix this? Thanks for any help... -dmc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] Supermount stopped working?
Todd, I am afraid, my problem is more serious and is not KDE-specific. Just tried Gnome and get exactly the same bundle of problems as in KDE: zip is not mounted properly, what file browsers as well as 'ls -ll' show me is NOT what's on the disk! I plug in a disk, but the file tree I see on it actually belongs to another zip disk, and it doesn't change if I try other disks. Needless to say, I can't write to the disks (all of which work fine in Win98). I recall now it started to go haywire after I installed a local printer with HardDrake. The printer also stopped working properly very soon after the installation (maybe when I accessed the zip...). So, the real problem must be some serious conflict b/w zip and printer. I'll start digging there...

Especially with copy protected games such as Diablo 2. I personally never saw the problem on my workstation because I run Enlightenment with KDE application support; therefore I can run a "better" gui and still use all the neat KDE apps. And without the mount problems. ;) Peeps looking for a winblows replacement will need to have those KDE problems resolved at some time or another tho.

Re: [expert] Supermount stopped working?
FWIW: I noticed my cdrom acting flakey under KDE (it would eject when I pressed the button, but then immediately retract...) and the 'Eject' option on the icon didn't work. Since this is an upgraded system (MDK 8.2 -> MDK 9.0), I deleted the icon and re-created it--and it seems to work just fine (supermount and all.) -Jason On Saturday 28 September 2002 12:46 am, Ronald J.

I do have supermount still running with 8.2 on my son's comp, which is a lot simpler setup than my main machine. There, it seems to work just fine. I did have some trouble getting Soldier of Fortune 2 to work under WineX but it was the game itself, not supermount.
