I am trying to access an HFS formated Zip drive at /dev/sda4. I invoked "hmount /dev/sda4" from root, exited the console, and clicked on the Zip drive icon on my KDE 2.2.1 desktop. The following error popped up:
"Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified."
What am I doing wrong and how can I get HFS formatted Zip drives to mount automagically on my desktop the same way I can with DOS/Win formatted Zip drives? I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro.
Cheers,
Brian
Your /etc/fstab probably states that /dev/sda4 should be mounted with vfat or some other PC filesystem. As you have already mounted the drive with hfsutils, why don't you just open up a konqueror filebrowser, and type "file:/zipdrive" where you replace "zipdrive" with the actual mount location of your zip disk ? You could also duplicate the zip line in fstab, replacing the filesystem column with hfs and changing the mountpoint to /mnt/maczip or something, then you could create another zip icon on your desktop, spcifically to mount MAC zip disks :-) - -tosi - -- This mail is sent using KMail and Linux.
