Mounting Floppies

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi - daft one for Friday morning coffee break:
 
I have been trying to mount floppies on a couple of CentOS5 servers - the usual "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" (yes, /mnt/floppy exists!).
 
On both servers, the mount command just doesn't come back and I have to hit CTRL-C. I have tried different media and also changed the floppy drive on one server, /dev/fd0 is seen as present on both servers and they are enabled in the BIOS. I have formatted and tested the floppies on my desktop PC without problems.
 
In the end, I gave up, stuck a USB floppy on one of the boxes and it mounted with no problems.
 
So is it me, CentOS 5 or something else? (Ideas, anyone!?). It could be a set of duff floppies and three flaky drives (two brand new), but I thought I'd ask before I spend too much more time on it!
 
Thanks
 
Nigel Kendrick
