However, I did a chgrp floppy /floppy, all is fine and dandy without any floppy mounted. However, when I mount a floppy as root the root group once again owns the /floppy directory which means I cannot write to it when I'm logged in as a standard user. I also have this problem when I try to mount my vfat win95 partiton. Another question when I try to mount a vfat partition I get the errors: Unable to load NLS charset cp437(nls_437) Unable to load NLS charset iso8859-1(nls_iso8859_1)
but I can still read and write to the disk (as root), I'm guessing I did something wrong when I recently compiled the kernel with kpkg. > > > > I noticed when I'm logged in as a normal user (not root) I cannot > write > > to the floppy drive.
