------- Additional Comments From juergenw_ freenet de  2006-04-14 13:09 -------
I am facing the following floppy mount problems with Fedora Core 5 & KDE 3.5.1 & \
3.5.2 (pls. note that FC5 no longer uses fstab.sync but relies on the desktop manager \
for mounting devices properly on the desktop):

I have set up KDE (ControlCenter) to display mounted & unmounted 3.5"-floppy 
devices on the desktop.
I am as user member of the groups 'disk' and 'floppy'.

Mount point is set to '/media/floppy', option automount is checked, unmounted 
floppy icon appears on desktop.

Upon insert of a floppy disk an _blank_ konquerer window opens at 
'media:/fd0', while the desktop icon is _not_ being updated from umounted to 
mounted icon !

Subsequently, neither right-clicking on the desktop icon gives me the option 
to unmount the floppy again, nor can I do this in the konquerer-filemanager 
in the storage media panel.

I can unmount the floppy savely at the console (and did so), but KDE obviously 
isn't being notified and still displays the disk content under /media/floppy.

As a consequence, new inserts of a floppy disk fill up the /media directory 
with new entries as floppy-1, floppy-2 and so on.

As a workaround I have stopped KDE to display floppy device icons on the 
desktop and inserted a static entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/fd0 and manually 
created a .desktop file for that.

This behaviour is limited only to floppies.
CD-ROM, DVD, USB sticks are mounted properly by KDE.
