Yes, this one did the trick... tcat@lynx:~$ udisks --mount /dev/fd0 Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/fd0 at /media/floppy0 Thanks a lot. Is it possible to make mount aware of UDisks/devices/fd0 and the like? On my system, mount works on everything in /etc/fstab except floppy /dev/fd0 devices USB sticks (floppies) get mounted automatically by inserting them to an USB slot.
