OK, here are the facts as they apply to my system. With supermount
enabled I cannot read ext2 floppies using any method suggested by the
list, mandrakeuser.org or devised by anyone, as far as I can tell.
With supermount disabled and using the conventional fstab entry
suggested by Ramon: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
sync,user,noauto,nsuid,nodev,unhide 0 0 I used mount /mnt/floppy in a
term and then left clicked the desktop floppy icon. Lo and behold I
could open both vfat and ext2 floppies.
So there's a bug in supermount, right? How do some folks manage to use
it with ext2 floppies? Beats me. There's a bug in my system? I think
not.
Anyway it's very cumbersome and I don't mind using windows methods if
they're clearly better, as they would be in the case of supermount, if
only it worked. Roll on LM7.1.
