Yes I know - a floppy drive.but.... I want to extract a whole bunch of samples of old floppy discs (about 300 discs) from my Ensoniq EPS sampler (that has died).I am using a C program called Epslin to do this. This is working fine and I can extract the samples but the floppy drive can only be accessed as root, so everything I extract is owned by root so I have to go and 'chown' all the files. This is not a huge deal but painfull enough for me to do.I am just not sure how to set the floppy drive so it can be accessed by me (normal user).I have Googled this and done the following:installed fdutilsin /lib/udev/rules..d/80-udisks2.rules - I have changed the references to floppy so they end in a 1 i.e. KERNEL==fd*, ENV{ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY}=1my user is part of the floppy groupin /etc/fstab I added - /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,sync 0 0When I try to just mount the floppy normally via terminal it says only root can mountIf I try to mount the floppy from the icon in the file explorer an error box says failed to mount floppy disk not authorised to perform operationI am not sure what else I need to do?This is on Debian 8
Floppy drive can only be mounted as root
