mount: block device is write-protected

[Mark Sargent]

IBM R30
External Floppy
Fedora Core 2
Newbie

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

mount: block device is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock

ls -al fd0
brw-rw-rw- 1 talisman floppy 2, 0 Feb 24 2004 fd0

Fedora Core 2 on my Desktop has no problems reading/writing to the floppy.
Changing the tab's position did nothing

Hi, why do I keep getting this..? Cheers.

What is the entry for /dev/fd0 in the /etc/fstab file?

thanks,

your mail crashes at least on my system mozilla-1.73 (FC2 and mozilla.org).
mozilla 1.72 (mozilla.org) is ok.



mozilla.org = ok
$ /usr/local/moz-172/mozilla --version
Mozilla 1.7.2, Copyright (c) 2003-2004 mozilla.org, build 2004080309


mozilla.org = crash
$ /usr/local/moz-173/mozilla --version
Mozilla 1.7.3, Copyright (c) 2003-2004 mozilla.org, build 2004091413


FC2 = crash
$ mozilla -version
