Several additional errors in the fstab table generated by Kubuntu 6.06 1. The fsck option is set not only for fat/fat32 partitions, but also for NTFS partitions as well!
2a. When a user tries to access a blank (empty) DOS floppy disk formatted by Windows 98, Kubuntu tries to mount it. However, since there is no mount entry in fstab for fd0, even after 5 minutes of spinning the floppy disk, the progress is 0 percent! 2b. Moreover, AFTER this futile mount attempt, every time the user log in to Kubuntu, the following warning is displayed: "The process for the media protocol died unexpectedly." The fix for both 2a and 2b is to include an ad hoc entry in fstab for DOS/Linux floppy disks: /dev/fd0 /media/fd0 auto rw,user,noauto,umask=007,gid=46 0 Note that fstab generated by Kubunutu 6.06 does not have any entry for fd0! _________________________________________________________________ Mortgage rates as low as 4.625% - Refinance $150,000 loan for $579 a month.
