mandrake_alf Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Seems I never had problems reading/writing to my floppy or zip drive but all of a sudden they are mounted ro and when i change them to rw it causes more issues.. maybe I'm confused about fstab?? I don't know.. I thought it was the master table of all FS mounted and mtab was just a runtime copy (more or less) of the fstab... Wow.. sometimes i just get overwhelmed with this stuff... So..... ALL I want to do is (as myself, not root) read AND write to my floppy from any file manager I decide to use.. even from CLI if i need or choose to mv (this) or cp (that) or whatever.. I'm tired , frustrated , and ready to pull out hair i lost a long time ago... (pardon me while i sit here on my pitty pot a while.. ) Your comments, suggestions would be REALLY appreciated ..

Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Can you post the fstab entry you are trying to use for the floppy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
