Hi All, Here is the output from various commands. The /etc/fstab file. The mount process just hangs.
Could someone throw some light on this, I am trying to mount a FAT floppy. Mine is a RedHat 7.2 system, but I am using ext3 file system for /. I had converted to ext3fs from ext2fs more than six months back. Regards, Venky [root@localhost root]# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ----Here the shell process has hanged.
