Hi Replying to Anne I had user missing from that line , so I added it and rebooted. Exactly the same happens, even tried killing nautilus.
So I changed the fstab entry to ext3 mtools works so does win4lin :) If I manually mount the floppy drive Nautilus can see the contents but mtools and win4 lin cant until I unmount it. So next read the Nautilus help file, so right mouse click on the desktop and select disks> floppy and nautilus cant mount it. So it seems that nautilus dos'nt release the mount for other apps to use when supermount is used for the floppy. ps ax shows that for each floppy or cdrom icon on the desktop nautilus has an active process. Any more thought s please Richard On Mon, 2003-10-06 at 10:18, Richard Bown wrote: > On Mon, 2003-10-06 at 10:08, Anne Wilson wrote: > > On Monday 06 Oct 2003 9:16 am, Richard Bown wrote: > > > Hi All > > > I suspect this has been round before.I had'nt noticed it as I > > > rarely use a floppy these days. > > > But that friend noticed it ,( I suspect I have misspelt friend, in > > > his case maybe the "r" is missing). > > > > > > I've checked my machines and they all do the same. > > > Which ever app uses the floppy drive first time dos'nt release it, > > > so the next time its used with a different app you get the error > > > message that the device is busy. > > > > > > eg. when starting with nautilus then win4lin or mtools > > > > > > Whats the preferred option in fstab for the floppy ? > > > > > > WM = gnome > > > > > Hi, Richard.
