Lando Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 My floppy cannot write in MDK 10 environment but is OK under Knoppix live . I get "writing to devices is not supported " doing a copy /paste . No messages but it desn't work using cp or dd utilities from terminal. fstab is > /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,rw 0 0 mnt/floppy permissions are >>> rwxrwxrwx I've tried in root and with my user name. Any suggestion ? Thanks a lot, regards. [moved from Everything Linux by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think that hardware has no problem ! The floppy works fine in Windows and Knoppix environments !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Can you tell me what is the tool to format a floppy disk in MDK ? Navigate the Start Menu to System - Configuration - Hardware and you should find Floppy Formatter (gfloppy) and/or KFloppy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 As I said it's not an hardware problem ! I've get the solution searching "writing to devices is not supported " with Google ! It's a supermount problem, disabling it (supermount disable ) and opening mnt/floppy (after mount /mnt/floppy) it is possible paste files with the browser (this because the floppy icon is desappeared from the desktop ).

The Hardware forum is for users who have a problem with their hardware: that does not mean that the hardware is the cause of the problem.
