What have you added to the autofs configuration to have it automount floppy discs? Are you sure you have logged this against the correct component? Sorry... I'm only an end user not a programmer or developer I search in google and I've found many blog about manual mount command. One post spoke about autofs and particularly autofs files in /etc; nothing about other components. I try add this line in file /etc/auto.misc floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0 under line cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom But it doesn't work; nor after autofs restart or reboot. Also: in the /dev directory there isn't old fd0 device but new /proc/self.... When I posted this bug I chose this program with no idea about if it's a autofs problem or hal or other components. I bag your pardon (In reply to comment #2) > Sorry...

But autofs has no control over device file creation. The floppy must be recognised by the system and its device file created before you can configure autofs to use it since you must use the device file in the map entry. > > When I posted this bug I chose this program with no idea about if it's a autofs > problem or hal or other components. > I bag your pardon To be honest Gnome vfsd is better suited to automatically mounting and umounting removable media. Perhaps you should remove the autofs configuration and change the component to vfsd. If that isn't the correct component hopefully the maintainer will know the correct one.
