You have to create the mount point directory first ( sudo mkdir /media/floppy0 ) giving full write/read access to the plugdev group (" sudo chgrp plugdev /media/floppy0 " and " sudo chmod g +rwx /media/floppy0 ") for the mount command to work correctly.
I also confirm this bug, adding that on my floppy drive I have the activity led always on. -- floppy disk drive not detected (module not loaded) in Intrepid Alpha 4 kernel 2.6.27-2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
