Hi all, I have foematted a floppy disk as shown below: $ fdformat /dev/fd0u1680 $ mkdosfs /dev/fd0u1680
Upon completion I end up with a 1.62MB floppy disk. WinDoze XPfffft sees the disk and all files on it. It sees it as a 1.62MB disk. My laptop with its USB floppy drive sees it as a 1.62MB disk and sees all its files. But when I try to $ mount /mnt/floppy after rebooting the PC into Linux RH9 it sees a garbled filesystem. It will mount the disk with no errors, but when I do $ ls /mnt/floppy I get nothing but weird garbage, most of which is a string of characters I can't show here due to the limitations of my keyboard. Is there a way to automacally format a disk of this format without having to know before I put the disk in whether I should $ mount /mnt/floppy or $ mount /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt/floppy Thanks for any help you can give me.
