Larrydon't forget the fact that the dos filesystem doesn't
maintain the Linux permissions of the files stored on it.
You'll have to re-set the permissions after retrieving the
file from the dos formatted floppy.
Good point but it would seem an odd
Phildon't change the fstab entry. Supermount only works
for dos formatted floppies. Mount ext2 floppies the old
fashioned way and don't forget to umount them before removal.

Alan - I asked several days ago if there is any dangers in using supermount and was
assured that there isn't any danger (at least for a single-user system).
Would you please explain why you say we should mount/umount the "old way"?
I'm using ext2 files.
thanks

experimentation, since documentation is all but non-existant,
I found that supermount works fine on dos formatted floppies.
But if you want to read/write an ext2 floppy then you need to
do it the traditional Linux way which includes umounting the

Is there a danger in using the supermount feature for zip disks or floppy disks?
I thought from reading linux books that when we mount a floppy and insert a
disk into that drive, then access the disk, that when finished we need to umount
the disk, then mount again for the next disk, etc.

i've looked for a newer version of supermount but i can't find one, i
understood this to be a special feature of the mandrake kernel, can it

hi sevatio
i reinstalled without supermount and then enabled from a command line,
it seems to be working for the cd drives but i still get no joy for the

mounted filesystems, bad superblock on /dev/fd0
i have put both vfat and ext2
Show me your /etc/fstab and I'll try to spot the problem.
