Hi, list. On my FC4 system I can not write to my 3-1/2 inch floppy drive, /dev/fd0. I can write to the floppy from Windows and SUSE 9.2 but not FC4. I checked fstab. The second floppy drive, /dev/fd1, has disappeared. # cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda12 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,managed 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Ordinarily, I would not miss /dev/fd1 since it is a seldom used 5-1/4 inch drive. However, since the device has disappeared I cannot write to /dev/fd0. Here's what happens when I attempt to mount a floppy: # mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only I am running kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4. The problem also occurs using kernel-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4.
