Re: howto disable floppy drive

[Roberto Felloni]

Hi list.

I have tried to remove (with fstab-sync) settings on fstab for my floppy, 
bat without results.
On fstab-sync man page I have read syntax to remove media, 
but I don't understand wat's UDI and where I can find it.

---- man fstab-sync ----------------------------------------------------------
fstab-sync --remove=UDI
      Remove an entry from fstab by giving a HAL 
      Unique Device Identifier
---- man fstab-sync ----------------------------------------------------------

I have tried replacing UDI with
- /dev/fd0
- fd0
- /media/floppy
- floppy

and any cases return to me error on a library.

less /etc/fstab :
-------------------
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
LABEL=/home             /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=/usr              /usr                    ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/var              /var                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/hdc1               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hdb                /media/cdrom            auto   
pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0                /media/floppy           auto   
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Any proposal are appreciated.
Many thanks.
