No. Same error message. When I remove floppy from fstab it mounts to /media/usbdisk as shown from the mount. /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdb1 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda3 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/hdb2 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda5 on /var type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda6 on /var/log type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda1 on /windows type vfat (rw) automount(pid4154) on /var/autofs/removable type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=4154,minproto=2,maxproto=4) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /dev/fd0 on /media/usbdisk type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077) > > What are the permissions on /media/floppy before and after you mount the > floppy?
