There should be a space between the cmd and the option flag "df -T"

The output of df -T should tell us


"auto" - says automatic determination of file system on floppy. This is
the variable we need to investigate.

"noauto" - says do not auto-mount the floppy.

"umask=0" - is the user mask setting and should set all permissions on,
same thing as setting permissions to 777 with chmod; sets owner, group
and others to have access. So this is good!
