You're sure you copied it *to the floppy* in the first place?

Sounds like you just copied it to the mountpoint while the filesystem on
the floppy was unmounted.  When your filesystem is unmounted, the
mountpoint loses all its superpowers and is just a normal directory.

If that is the case there is nothing on the floppy and the files never
left your CentOS box.... and the files "copied" to the "floppy"
unusually fast :-)

BTW a floppy can have whatever filesystem you want on it, vfat, ext2,
ext3, etc, just depends what filesystem you put on it when you formatted it.
