Dear Maintainer, In Debian 8 I have a SS DD 180K Floppy attached ad /dev/fd0. I execute the following commands to format a TRS180 floppy, and it formats correctly. larry@Debian811:~$ lsmod | grep floppy floppy 56090 0 larry@Debian811:~$ ls -alt /dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 2, 0 Mar 8 00:20 /dev/fd0 larry@Debian811:~$ groups larry larry : larry cdrom floppy sudo audio dip video plugdev netdev bluetooth lpadmin scanner larry@Debian811:~$ sudo ls -alt /media total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 6 14:50 . drwxrw---- 2 root floppy 4096 Mar 6 14:50 floppy drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar 6 14:46 .. drwxr-x---+ 2 root root 4096 Mar 6 14:45 larry larry@Debian811:~$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may # be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if # disks are added and removed.

It should be easy enough to duplicate and find the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500,
