In reality, it is because I am anal.

I changed to CentOS from Gentoo, and with Gentoo, there was no /media directory. I had drives mounted to /media/music , /media/television, and so on.

So, when I changed to CentOS, by habit I wanted the same structure.

Now when connecting to my samba share that connects to the /media directory, I get two other directories; floppy and lost+found.

I guess it isn't a big deal, but it definitely bothers me. There has to be a reason that that dir and fstab line are being added.

The fact that I don't know how it works bothers me more than having those two directories =).

Ok, it seems I am a little off on my problem description.

I can delete /media/floppy but on system restart, that directory is automagically created. I thought this would have been from my fstab entry, so I deleted both the /dev/fd0 line from my fstab, and deleted the /media/floppy directory but on bootup, both are created.

Ah, I thought you meant that you were having mounts take place when the floppy disc was present in the drive.

Why do you care if there is an empty directory?
