So after a few years of general inactivity, I'm going to update floppy with the current device names, and I'll see if I can the upstream to update the fd(7) man page. But until the updated floppy makes it way into the Fedora branch of util-linux-ng, running MAKEDEV is the only workaround.Hello, guys! Thanks for the help you gave me. 'MAKEDEV fd0' did the trick - I can format floppy as root. But when I'm trying it as usual user I have: $ floppy --ext2 --format A: floppy 0.16 Copyright 2001-2006, Double Precision, Inc. /dev/fd0H1440: Lupa evätty No formattable capacities for /dev/fd0
Only root can open the floppy device directly, and only root can issue a format.
