Kieth Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 I just searched through the forum, and I could not find a solution to my problem. At times I have difficulty mounting my devices. Sometimes, even if I get them mounted, read files, then switch to another file, I then cannot go back to the device. It states that the file is non existant. My fstab file is: /dev/hdb1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdb8 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/fd0 mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 Also, I am having a hard time mounting my floppy. Using KwikDisk, when I try to mount, the responce I get is: Called: mount /dev/fd0 mount: mount point mnt/floppy doews not exist Any ideas how to resolve the problem?

MottS Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 for your floppy, replace mnt/floppy by /mnt/floppy in your fstab (notice the "/" in front of mnt). You should then be able to mount/umoun the floppy. Other than that, which partition are you having problem with ? MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Your fstab entry for your floppy looks wrong.The install sets the mount point at /mnt/floppy, not mnt/floppy. Check your /mnt directory and see what's there. Also, what commands are you using to mount your cd drives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted January 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 I changed my fstab, and put / in front of mnt/floppy. Now I have no problem with my floppy. Thanks!! As far as sometimes seeing the files, and sometimes no, well. . . the problem still exists. I was using KwikDisk, so therefore I wasn't using any commands. Now I am using icons that I put on my Desktop. The commands I put are /dev/hdc and /dev/scd0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MottS Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 what about making your 2 cdrom lines in fstab look the same ? from /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0 0 0 to /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0 0 0 Which one of the 2 cdrom are you having problem with ? /dev/hdc or /dev/scd0 ?
