Maybe something like: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto,vfat utf8 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto generic-options The auto would trigger blkid to identify the filesystem, and then only if it matches one of the additional listed filesystems would that line be applied. I suppose that would also require changing other utilities like udisks to understand it? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSWADrAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75bRYIAKF5CFzLr8hChG6+VoFvWSMY 1O5W8unfYSL4JH86OVuj14w9LaWWxbYaIwzhbAXp5X9Y96ZLXPNxcHaytyoBSmYg xfDNpgj/Nm6Y8Zg2LM+qwFi+oO4qOb8RetD0uxz3uVBzxVC/PoV4W3AwoCsK3bQ9 xGjxDpMSi9lq3jA/pa8TtJnkUC8cL8vX8AWrGcSd/bBtxVZjM/mpxn4UhoBLSfOE ICGijygUP+NUbZ7yvBb5LE2B0nqaXlpg8qqrGENhJuUGchhyd45MASzOP+I1030H AgpMKgfg85qVneRiKl+/PmKKhrefqBkBbrWhXzjCpMNJH7H/BdupOIS+0DfQ/MI= =QAmw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
