if that is where your device is mounted, then its not currently mounted. ;)
beyond that, you need to open a terminal, stick in a floppy, and do:
mount /media/floppy
when you are done, make sure every program that was opened and in that path are now closed, and issue:
umount /media/floppy
if its busy when you try and umount, then use fuser to figure out whats got it, and use 'kill' to shut down those processes. those filemanagers will leave paths open for no real reason (except stat'ing it, or watching for new file objects)
Wow was this ever disasterous!
mount /media/floppy said it was already mounted
unmount /media/floppy said it was busy.
then I tried fuser -m /media/foppy
and it returned 2565
so I: kill 2565
and the system goes haywire! terminal takes off like the enter key is stuck down.
I close terminal then the desktop goes blewy and starts opening all sorts of windows. I manage to get to shutdown, but nothing happens. Finally I just powered down.....
There has GOT to be a better way!
