Use of floppy disks in linux

Use of floppy disks in linux-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. I went to the interview two days ago and made a test paper. I did not answer one question. The first question of the paper was "How to mount a floppy disk in linux".

The other scripts and other things are all done. This is the case. During the interview, I told me that you have been using linux for so long, how to mount a floppy disk?

I have mounted hard drives, optical drives, tape drives, and mobile devices. To be honest, I have never mounted a floppy disk in linux. In fact, the mount format is similar. It is hard to remember the name of the device file on the floppy disk.

Do it now:

1. Mounting Floppy Disks
Must be manually mounted and unmounted
Mount/dev/fd0/media/floppy
Umount/media/floppy

2. Formattiong Floppy Disks
Two types of format needed to prepare a floppy:
Alow levelformat: fdformat/dev/df0H1440
A filesystem, one
Mkfs-t ext2/dev/fd0
Mke2fd/dev/fd0
Mkfd-t vfat/dev/fd0

3. Use tar to back up files to unformatted floppy disk
Floppeds can used like tape drives
Low level format required
File system not needed
Floppy cannot be mounted
Use tar to write to the floppy
/Dev/fd0 ks the destination

Perform the following steps for backup:
# Unount/media/floppy (unmount)
# Fdformat/dev/fd0H1440 (low)
# Tar cvfM/dev/fd0 file)

Restore:
# Tar xvfM/dev/fd0

If multiple disks exist, a message is displayed after the first disk is restored.
