mount floppy in FC4

[perigrin]

I have just encountered a peculiar problem in Fedora Core 4 while trying to mount the floppy drive as USER. You can hear it initiate but then you get this error: "Called: mount /dev/fd0
mount: I could not determine the file system type and none was specified". When the same command is issued as ROOT there is no problem. All other versions of RedHat/Fedora that I have used always set up the mount of all devices listed in fstab on start up for all users. This, however, was before udev when kudzu handled the devices.

Has anyone else had this problem. Any sugested solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Please disregard post. Problem solved. Solution:

Edit fstab:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,user 0 0

instead of:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

the file system section could also be ext3 if desired. Fstab-sync interacts with hald on startup to set device perameters if the line states "managed" and auto no longer seems to work in determining file system type for a floppy. Changing the /dev/fd0 line as above effectively removes the floppy from the hal daemons control.
