Other Help Topics :: line in fstab is bad



Afaik, the mount tool only looks in /mnt ... and the rest is up to your fstab.

What's currently in /etc/fstab now?
fstab now contains:

Quote
/dev/hda3  /  ext2  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1
proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /mnt/auto/floppy  auto defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/auto/cdrom auto defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
# partitions found by dsl
#/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=50 0 0
#/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hdg /mnt/hdg iso9660 noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=50 0 0


So when I do $mount /dev/fd0 the floppy gets mounted on /mnt/auto/floppy

As far as mtab is concerned, yes it contains the devices mounted, just as you pointed out.
I suppose you manually edited your file... but here's what mine has
Code Sample
/dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto user,noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0
Yes, probably did & forgot...

I changed the line so it's the same as yours, but to no avail...
The mounnttool keeps telling me it can't find /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab

Some rights-problem maybe?
Well maybe you can check the permissions by
ls -l /mnt/
ls -l /mnt/auto/
