I use supermount on my Mandrake 7.2 box to mount the floppy. According to what
I've read, this means that I don't have to **mount** or **unmount** manually
when changing diskettes. Usually, this works fine. I must say, that although
this is very **un-geeky**, it's alot easier. Since I usually access diskettes
using Konqueror (KDE 2.0), all I have to do is insert the disk and click on
/mnt/floppy.
The problem is that sometimes it doesn't work. When that happens, I try
mounting and/or unmounting manually. That seems to work, but when I try cd
/mnt/floppy, I get the following:
[root@shlomo1 /root]# mount /mnt/floppy
[root@shlomo1 /root]# cd /mnt/floppy
bash: cd: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error
I'm convinced this is not a hardware problem because re-booting solves it every
time, but as we've discussed before, rebooting is for Windows - not for Linux.
BTW - here's the relevant line from /etc/fstab:
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
Can anybody suggest what my problem could be?
TIA
