Hello all!
I formatted a floppy disk on my alpha server this morning, and I could not
get the thing to mount using the entry in the /etc/fstab file that I had. I
used the following commands on my 4.0D box to format the floppy:
# fddisk -fmt -f /dev/rfd0c
# disklabel -wr /dev/rfd0c rx23
# newfs -S 512 /dev/fd0c
The entry in my fstab file for the floppy drive was:
/dev/fd /floppy fdfs rw 0 0
Whenever I would mount the floppy drive, I would use:
# mount /floppy
However, once the drive was mounted I would do a "df -k" which would show
the drive as having 0% used, 0% available, and at 100% capacity. I finally
got the drive to mount as it should have using the following command:
# mount /dev/fd0c /floppy
Can anyone give me an acceptable /etc/fstab line for the floppy drive?
Thanks!
