Description of Problem: I suddenly started to get an error message: /dev/fd0: No such file or directory when mounting a floppy. The strace (attached) seems to indicate mount is looking for a locale file somewhere in /usr/share, which I suspect is really the the file that doesn't exist. The relevant fstab entry is: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 The relevant line from mount is: /dev/fd0 on /mnt/floppy type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mount-2.11g-5 I'm all up to date on updates. This is a kernel I've compiled myself, but I've never had any problems with it. (Well, after umounting the filesystem doesn't reclaim the storage of a file mounted on the loopback device that's then deleted. But that's a different problem and seems to have been mentioned on the kernel mailing lists.) Linux mofo.meme.com 2.4.17 #2 SMP Wed Mar 20 13:42:50 CST 2002 i686 unknown I also have devfs turned on. devfsd-1.3.18-1 How Reproducible: You probably have to have a floppy with some kind of error on it. Mounting a different floppy does not produce the error. The last time I umounted the floppy I may have ejected it before the drive light went off. (Although I don't beleve I wrote to the floppy while it was mounted.) Steps to Reproduce: mount /mnt/floppy
Created attachment 65984 [details] strace of mount /mnt/floppy
1. The absent locale files are unrelated to the problem (they're just used to print out error messages in your current language). 2. I can't reproduce the problem with the Limbo beta, so it's likely to be "just you" :) 3. If I had to point a finger, I would blame devfs, which we do not support or include.
