Put the mount on automount in fstab ??? 2. Change the permission for /dev/floppy to 777 so that everyone is able to mount this device. Or move the ownership to a group which is allowed to mount this. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
[ilugd] unable to mount floopy from linux user side
Thanx Nandz, I have already tried this >imdps$ mount -tvfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy but the result which this command shows is: you must be root to mount. And my problem is I am being able to mount the floopy and read its contents as superuser by simply using the command mount /mnt/floppy, but not from the user side like in my case imdps. Any comments please???

[ilugd] unable to mount floopy from linux user side
Hello all, please solve my query: I am facing one problem that when I mount the floopy from a user imdps on the linux box bc1 , it is showing the following result: mount: you must specify the file system type but from the root I am able in mounting the floopy . So what I does check the /etc/fstab there is this entery /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 what I tries here : to put one entry in /etc/mtab file like this /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,user=imdps 0 0 But the problem isit is not working , and also while on rebooting the system the entry which I make in to the /etc/mtab file is no more there, When I search about this I found that it reads from the/etc/fstab file while on rebooting and make enteries to /etc/mtab file accordingly. So please tell me from which file, I can make the system to mount the floopy from the user imdps account.
