Don't ask me where I read this, but scsi devices seem to have a logical
partition (sda1) and the filesystem and thus data is at sdax, a later partition.
On my zip the device is sdb4.
I have an ORB 2.2 Gb removable scsi and it is sda5.
In Webmin>Hardiware>Partitions on local drives, /dev/sda is the ORB with 2
partitions, sda1 and sda5 and /dev/sdb is the Zip with 1 partition,sdb4.
df shows ORB is 30% in use on sda5, no mention of sda1; Zip is 42% in use on
sdb4, no mention of sdb1.
I have always seen these device names under several kernels.
Hope this helps.
