accessing floppy disk Posted by Danty on 8 Mar 2002 at 10:27 PM
why can't I access floppy disk under a user login in freeBSD?

I tried:

mount /dev/fd0 /home/Danty/fDisk

I get:
error stating that "Operation not permitted"

Well thats beacuse by defaults they have only root access. You have to explicitly change
permissions for user login.

One way is to set it in /etc/fstab.
The other way I can think of is /etc/suath if BSD support it. (I am not sure if BSD does support
this). As I am not in BSD right now - umm I can't check. (try man suath ),

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /yourmountpoint
It's ok for me, I think it's ok for you, don't foget to specify the filesystem.

What if the user doesn't have the right to "mount"?
