a real n00b question! how do i mount my floppy drive?
hi, i need a little help mounting my floppy drive on debian.
im a real n00b and cant figure out which command i need. any help would lovely :) |
depending on distro, you can often do something like this from the command line:
mount /mnt/floppy see also: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html I hope this helps |
I believe in debian it's mount /floppy
|
i tryed both the commands u guys said and neither of them worked
mount /floppy = mount: can't find /floppy in /etc/fstab or /ect/mtab mount /fd0 = mount: can't find /floppy in /etc/fstab or /ect/mtab so i took a look at the link kvedaa said and on there it said to use mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy which gave me an error, mount: mount point /mnt/floppy does not exist any other ideas? of have i missed something? btw cheers for the quick replys |
In Debian the mount point is /floppy. So the command mount /dev/fd0 /floppy should work for you. Now as to the fstab problem, that's a bit surprising. Can you post your /etc/fstab file?
|
when i try and mount, the light on the front of the floppy comes on and it starts clunking away, before i get the error.
iv also tryed a few disks just in case that might have been the problem. my fstab file: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 ~ |
Ok, based on your fstab file, you need to type "mount /media/floppy0" and your floppy will be accessible through the folder /media/floppy0.
