[linux-help] Re: Saving to a floppy disk

["Hareesh Haridas" <Hareesh.Haridas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

after you mount, try using this command :=20

root@ijiryu /root>>df -h=20
this will show you all the mounted systems which will have /dev/fd0 too,
if mounted properly.

after doing the cp, put a sync too, like:

root@ijiryu /root>>sync
this will flush the buffer and write the data to the floppy (if it was
mounted).

now give umount (make sure that you are not in the directory /mnt/floppy
while you do this).
root@ijiryu /root>>umount /mnt/floppy

then again check using df, whether the floppy is still mounted or not.

hope this helps.
regards,
Hareesh.
