[root@linux01 ~]# mount -v /dev/floppy-fd0 /media/floppy
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/floppy-fd0
I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems
Trying hfsplus
mount: block device /dev/floppy-fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/floppy-fd0
I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems
