I want to automount floppy
I want to be able to access any disk inseted in floppy drive: MS-Dos, MAC , ext2 file systems and any other file system my Ubuntu Hoary can detect; of course do this automatically when I access the drive. When I select gnomes menu 'places /computer/floppy drive I get a 'no filesystem specified' error message.
My etc/fstab file HAS the fd0 line entry (Ive tried auto and no-auto)
So to access an intserted disk I must as root on console:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
then manually umount the volume when done! Last time I checked we are not computing on 1960 mainframes. How do I allow user access the floppies AUTOMATICALLY?
Ive' done help searches to no avail..If anyone can solve this, I would appreciate it.
