Tried to use floppy formatter but keep on getting this error: ' /dev/fd11440 read only file system' .What is happening here?
First of all the floppy is in /dev/fd0 not fd1. Also the floppy in my drive is not read -only. Tested it in win98 format ok.
Thanks!
I've never come across this one, but it points to errors in your /etc/fstab. The line for my floppy reads:
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
Note that the floppy (I take it you're using Kfloppy?) must not be mounted.
I can do fdformat /dev/fd0 with no problems. Just want to know how to correct this error in Kfloppy.
OK, so what does the line for the floppy in your /etc/fstab say? Can you post it?
My guess is that it's a simple matter of doing
sudo gvim (or kate, or whatever editor you're happy with) /etc/fstab and correcting the line. You'll probably (as root) need to do mount -a as well.
BTW, are we talking about a Hard Drive install here?
Did rebuildfstab. Kfloppy works ok now
Thanks!
