by I can't seem to mount my floppy drive or my cdrom drive. I was able to
before and am now having a problem. I am tring to go throught and
Armour my box so I may have messed something up. I have an /etc/fstab
file in place and it says that I have dev=/dev/fd0 and dev=/dev/cdrom
and it says that they are supermount. I also checked my /mount
directory and those directories are there. when I try to 'cd' to
/floppy or /cdrom the terminal locks up. I can alt+F2 to get a new
login so it dosen't lock up the whole system. I have tried to mount as
root and as a normal user and get the same results. I am having some
strange messages when I 'su' from root to a user account. I am able to
do so but I get a message that says bash: /dev/tty2: Permission denied.
Then when I sometimes get 'ls' the directory I get ls: .: Permission
denied. When I looked in the /var/messages file I see a message that
says 'end_request_: I/O Error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0 . When I go
to /dev and try to 'cat fd0' I get the message back 'device not
configured'. Any help would be appriciated as I am tiring of fixing
problems more than learning how to use Linux. Yes this is also a lesson
for me to start backing up files before I make changes.
Thanks,
