feature?
bug?

Comment 1 Brian Ryner 1999-10-04 20:02:59 EDT

You can change that behavior by going to the floppy device properties
in linuxconf and changing the fs type it uses.  Could this be set to
autodetect?

Comment 2 Yil-Kyu Kang 1999-10-04 20:27:59 EDT

No, it cannot be set to autodetect by itself. Had to create and
/etc/filesystem with the following entries ext2, dos, msdos.

It's all yours, preston

Comment 4 Preston Brown 2000-02-16 10:37:59 EST

This will probably get fixed in 6.2 by changing the fstab defaults.

Comment 5 Preston Brown 2000-02-18 10:25:59 EST

has been fixed for 6.2.
