No, the floppy is Ext2. Still, it would not work with the Utf8 in the 
line in fstab. Now it is fine.

Yes, I know that floppies are supposed to be Stone Age now. However, my 
computer came with a floppy drive when it was made for me so I decided 
to use it.

I have my accounts on GNUCash, which creates a small text file, so I 
keep a copy on a floppy disk as a back up. And it has proved very useful 
more than once. It would be overkill to use a CD or a DVD for it.
