HI all,
How to access all USB floopy in Linux. Kernel I am ising is linux-2.6.12
My SCSI is loaded
/etc/fstab is
/dev/sda /mnt/usbfd auto noauto,user 0 0
when I say
mount /dev/sda /mnt
I get
"mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
Also my "fdisk /dev/sda " says
"Unabel to opewn /dev/hda"
Kindly shoot whats happening?
I have not used any USB floppy but here are a few questions which may help
you to solve the problem
Did u create any file-system on the floppy ( using mkfs kind of utilities) ?
Are sure /dev/sda refers to the device having the file system. (it might be
something like /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc)?
What does the output of "dmesg|egrep '(floppy|sda|fd)'" say.?
