Yes it is a msdos formatted flopyy.
Thus, I cannot mount it?
No idea if it makes any difference but I always did:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Same thing
If that does not help, some suggestions for a couple of things to check:
- is it supposed to be /dev/fd0? Did you check in /var/log/messages
could it be /dev/fd or /dev/fd1 or something else?
Mar 28 15:48:45 eschyle kernel: [1361320.794218] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is
1.44M
- do you have the floppy kernel module loaded?
lsmod |grep floppy
floppy 46307 0
- did you check the output of ls -l /dev/fd*? Does it look ok?
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Mar 12 20:42 /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd
brwxrwxrwx. 1 root floppy 2, 0 Mar 28 19:55 /dev/fd0

- is /mnt/floppy ok? Do you have the proper rights to access it?
ls -l /mnt/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 2010 backup
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 2010 backup2
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Dec 11 21:40 cdrom
drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 4096 Mar 28 15:58 floppy
- if all else fails, blame SELinux for keeping you safe from those
pesky floppy viruses and temporarily do setenforce 0 and try again

Patrick
