Error when accessing /mnt directory
Hi, I'm a Windows$-spoiled n00b, please help me! 
When I try to access the /mnt directory from Konqueror or another program (like e.g. K3b), strange things happen. Konqueror does nothing and "stalled" is displayed in its status bar, other programs mostly freeze and I have to kill them. When I change to the root terminal with Strg+Alt+F1 after such a thing happens it shows
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 1
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 3
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 4
etc...
Do you have any idea how I can prevent this error? Btw, I'm running Knoppix 3.4 from CD and I have no floppy drive.
Thanks!

Re: Error when accessing /mnt directory
As root, ' killall automount ' before browsing /mnt.
I believe this is caused by automount trying to access /mnt/auto/*, and it temporarily freezes the system because you have no floppy drive.

or its trying to mount something thats wrong...
for example, this happened when i was trying to mount a USB... it was just trying to find the wrong filesystem or something... i really dont know... it dissapeared when i got rid of it...
also... sometimes, other media types can be found also under /media

'killall automount' does the trick! Thanks!
