"-f" (according to the man page) "fakes" the operation; ie., it does everything BUT mount it. > My question is what file system do I designate when I format the floppy > under debian with the fdformat command (i.e., fdformat /dev/fd0h1440)? > I want the floppy to be formatted with a linux file system, and not > msdos. Try "mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0h1440". You might also wish the "-m 1" to minimize the amount of space lost to the lost+found directory. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
