How do I mount a floppy disk (with QNX filesystem)? |
| Solution |
You should have a disk in the drive when you mount (and you should unmount
before you take it out).
To use floppies:
Fsys.floppy (and of course Fsys) must be running.
Fsys.floppy &
The disk must be formatted or you can format it with fdformat. Assuming this is the first floppy drive (fd0):
fdformat /dev/fd0
The disk must have a qnx-filesystem, you make this with dinit
dinit /dev/fd0
Mount the disk into the filetree, you specify what you want the subdirectoy to be known as, I prefer /fd:
mount /dev/fd0 /fd
When done, unmount it:
umount /dev/fd0
For dos formatted disk see the knowledge base entry 'How do I mount a floppy disk (DOS filesystem)?
