floppyfss
Hi
What does floppyfss stand for? When I plug in my external harddrive, and type mount on the command line I see:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/DISK type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=f loppyfss,p rocuid)
What does floppyfss stand for? Sometimes when I plugin my external harddrive I see fs=ntfs instead. I suppose it's trying to say my external hard drive is Windows filesystem. But what about floppyfss? When should I see this - for which filesystem does it stand for?
Thanks

If the external harddrive mounts as floppyfss, how can I tell if it was originally a Windows or Mac or Linux filesystem.
If is says fs=ntfs at some point, it was, more than likely, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or other "NT" type operating system.
Glad I could be of assistance. Thanks!
floppy. The various subfs types (like cdfss and floppyfss) perform the fs
selection as needed.
