It would help if you can provide cut-and-paste type of screen result, even
if that means having to write the screen output onto a piece of paper, and
re-type the whole thing.  It's nearly impossible to help you without precise
actions you are taking (with literal folder and file names, even if it's a
test, dummy file you are using), and exact response the system is giving
back.  (i.e.  when you type in the mount command, does it give you some type
of feed back, or does it go right back to the prompt?)

Here's my sample:

*******************
root@ijiryu /root>> mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/

root@ijiryu /root>> ls -l quiz.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           19 Aug  3 02:18 quiz.c

root@ijiryu /root>> cp quiz.c /mnt/floppy/

root@ijiryu /root>> ls -l /mnt/floppy/quiz.c
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           19 Aug 18 01:28 /mnt/floppy/quiz.c*

root@ijiryu /root>> umount /mnt/floppy/

root@ijiryu /root>>
*******************

I see no error or warning messages, and I consider that good.  Usually, with
this short process, my PC writes information behind cache.  The physical
writing of the data happens once I umount, not when I cp the file.
