scuzzman Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 It's referencing the protocol, which I would assume to be the media:// in the Location: bar of Konqueror. Can you mount the drive manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 logged in as root, ran this command "mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" and it asked me to specify the filesystem.Now I am stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 should be FAT? Unless Linux formats disks as ext2fs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackrat Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I had a reply of SuSe and apparently this is to do with SUBFS which tries to mount devices automatically.It is a bug in the program and as of yet there is no fix to it.The only way around it is to stop SUBFS and mount the devices manually.
