Just curious...
I have always used vfat formatted zip disks when using my zip drive uder linux. I only recent;y started using ext2 formated disks My entry in fstab for vfat disks was
/dev/hdd1 /zip vfat rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0
but I have to chage it to
/dev/hdd /zip ext2 rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0
Considering the amount of difference in the fstab entries (from what I've read, I am surprised that the first one worked - but I don't have a zip drive) I seriously doubt that you could create a combined entry. This is most specifically because the first entry is referring to a specific partition, while the second is taking the entirety of an unpartitioned disk. However, you could create a directory /zip2, and change the second entry to refer to it. Then you could insert a vfat disk, mount /zip, umount /zip, insert an ext2 disk, mount /zip2 I think that's probably the best you can do. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
