When I try 'mount /dev/fd0' I get this message vegard@hjem:~$ mount /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0: Not valid argument <-translated from norwegian, actual phrase: 'Ugyldig argument' mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified This is the line from /etc/fstab /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 wich i copyed from the example of using fstab found in tuxfiles.org. I do not know excactly wich device it is (/dev/fd???). Does anybody see what is wrong?
I asked about a similar situation on a Sarge install some time ago. Good, specific responses. It turns out that the mount command checks a file: '/etc/filesystems' (if it exists). Sarge apparently doesn't create it. That's why mount is asking you to specify a filesystem. I created the file with these entries:
vfat msdos ext3 ext2The entry for the floppy in my /etc/fstab looks like this (slight difference).
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,users,noauto 0 0 Jim
