Unmount and then re-mount it before the ls command.

$umount /mnt/floppy
$mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
$ls /mnt/floppy

Maybe there is an option on the mount command to do the unmount and then re-mount in one command. But, if there is, I don't know it.

How do I get my system to reread the contents of the floppy? When I do an ls

different floppy in it, but it still lists the old data files.
