I am using autofs4 for automounting under MDK 8.1. I have a directory, /mount, which I use for automounting. It works fine for my DVD drive, CDRW drive, a local windows partition, and a remote windows share via smbmount. However, I cannot seem to get my floppy to automount. For instance, if I issue "ls /mount/floppy" after putting a disk in the drive, I get a "no such file or directory" error message. The same command for the dvd drive, for instance, works just fine after putting a CD in the drive.
At first, I thought perhaps the floppy drive itself was bad, but if I try to manually mount it at a mount point, it works fine, and I can also create a file system on the (unmounted) drive. I have devfs active as is the MDK 8.1 default.
