Trouble mounting floppy with 2.4.27

2004-09-08 Thread Eric Dickner
I didn't have any trouble mounting my floppy drive as file system type auto with 2.2.x, but since my upgrade mount insists that I provide a file system type. I tried msdos but it tells me the kernel doesn't support that type. What might be going on?

I don't know why, but it seems that the module vfat is not loaded automatically when invoking the mount command. If you manually load vfat before mounting, auto will work. The first workaround is to add vfat to /etc/modules Micha Feigin a écrit : When I try to mount a floppy with file system

HI, dman, Pietro, Jo-el, Sam, I definitely did not do a sync. Maybe I did a umount, but probably not. Why, when one shuts down via, say, poweroff, can unix not do that for you in the course of closing things down? It seems on of those things that is going to get forgotten in a rush.
