Greetings all,
Formatting a floppy should be an easy task, right? Not for us newbies it
seems!
Checked the floppy with Konsole to make sure there's nothing on it I want to
keep (there's not)
Installed fdutils.tried to superformat /dev/fd0 (found this on a
webpage)
Got the message
Nyal,
the issue is you want to unmount it before formatting it. Since you used
konsole to check it, supermount had mounted it, and it was in use. You want
to unmount your drive, and first it has to not be in use to unmount it. So..
cd to another location, and make sure nothing is using
You have to unmount it first.
Formatting a disk volume while something else is using it is a Bad
Thing (tm)
umount /dev/fd0
You may need to kill/suspend any automount daemon if you have one
running.

Being that you're using KDE you should just look under your
menus for floppy formatter or something of that sort. That
should work even with the supermount option.
