Bug Description

All my floppies are read-only on 7.10 !

- floppy is not read-only locked

- /etc/fstab seems to be good :
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0

- users are members of the floppy group

but /etc/mtab show :
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 vfat ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=fabrom 0 0

- formatting under Nautilus works but i can't create anything after mounting the formatted floppy !

- after mount :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2007-10-27 09:53 floppy -> floppy0
drwxr-xr-x 2 fabrom fabrom 7168 1970-01-01 01:00 floppy0

How to make floppy read-write for floppy group members ?

Works today (reboot or logout needed after users put in floppy group ?)

yes! When you add someone to a group that user must logon again for the effects.
