Hi everyone, Has anyone had any luck getting an ATAPI zip drive to work under 7.1? It worked perfectly under 6.4, but now I cannot mount a zip disk. I keep getting "bad superblock" errors when ever I try to mount a disk. I have tried msdos and vfat as the filesystems. I know that the drive is detected correctly. I have tried mounting it as /dev/hdd, and /dev/hdd[1-8] with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Victor -- Victor R. Cardona vcardona@home.com "Behold the keyboard of Kahless, the greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!"
Mine works fine , I think is /dev/hdd4 or somthing , check dmedg or the output on boot up , and it willtell which partion its finding on that drive . dont forget to load a cartrdge in the drive. At 12:33 PM 3/18/2001 -0600, Victor R. Cardona wrote:

I concur w/Samy -- i.e., mine works. I created the mountpoint in /mnt --> /zip I modified /etc/fstab to reflect /dev/hdd4 as follows: /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip vfat user,noauto 0 0 Of course, I have to su to root and enter the command : mount /mnt/zip Hope this helps. Marv Samy Elashmawy wrote:

Hi to ALL, I have had the same problem on SuSE 7.1 on two different machines. I have posted to this list a couple of times about 7.1 inability to mount removable media. I get the same error msg from MOUNT that you have posted. I have both SCSI read/write magneto optical drives and LS-120 super floppy drives. These drives work perfectly on these machines when I boot them with W98se or W-NT4, but when I boot 7.1 I cannot mount them; I get the same error msg from MOUNT. But I have tried something new. I have booted from the #2 cd of the SuSE 6.3 install media; Under install YAST 1 of 6.3 these drives are recognized properly, but once I boot back to 7.1 MOUNT still rejects them. Can anyone please help us????????????? Pete VC "Victor R. Cardona" wrote:

Check with "lsmod" that the kernel module ide-floppy is loaded. If not try loading it with "modprobe ide-floppy".

Hi Jean-Francois, Thanks for the ideas. LSMOD shows no "ide-floppy" module loaded. MODPROBE IDE-FLOPPY responds ' can't locate module ide-floppy'. But these would not apply to the SCSI R/W MO cartridge would they? Both devices seem to be recognized by the kernel; but when I do FDISK -L /dev/hda or FDISK -L /dev/sdc the output appears to be wrong, fdisk thinks that these carts & super floppies are "mis-partitioned" i.e.: Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-linux?) phys = (80, 10, 0) logical = (904484, 3, 6) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys = (371, 101, 33) logical = (1858416, 46, 24) Partition 1 does not end on a cylinder boundary: phys = (371, 101, 33) should be = ( 371, 63, 32) and similarly for Partitions 2 and 3 then it says: Partition table entries are not in disk order This to me seems to point strongly to something "being off by a byte or two" These carts and super floppies are recognized under NT and w98se, and they were recognized under 6.3 SuSE!!

Here is some more info on this bug: IN SuSE 7.1 2.2.18 root console mode start YAST1, goto INSTALL SETTINGS, then CONFIGURE HARD DRIVE PARTITIONS, SELECT /DEV/SDC (which is a SCSI r/w MO cartridge) YAST1 shows: "Fdisk detected the following hard drive geometry: Disk /dev/sdc 64 heads 32 sectors 606 cylinders. One cylinder has 1048576 Bytes. Here you can see the error messages of the fdisk program: { Blank empty box } Current partition table of the selected hard disk: Device name From To Blocks Partition Type (box) /dev/sdc1 904485 1858417 976827065 6c Unknown /dev/sdc2 945453 1636077 707199029 74 Unknown /dev/sdc3 1 1 0 20 Unknown (end box)" I have edited fstab as shown in: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/maddin_zip.html thus: adding: /dev/sdc1 /rwmoex ext2 rw,user,noauto,exec /dev/sdc4 /rwmodos msdos rw,user,noauto,exec,umask=000 But when I issue mount /rwmoex or mount /rwmodos the sys issues this error msg: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1 or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?) or mount : /dev/sdc4 is not a valid block device "Jean-François Bocquet" wrote:

The same problem bugged me too. When i tried to mount my ide zip drive i got the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 19 22:50:22 falcon kernel: ide-floppy: hdc: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 5, asc = 21, ascq = 0 Mar 19 22:50:22 falcon kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:04 (hdc), sector 0 Mar 19 22:50:22 falcon kernel: FAT bread failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The solution that worked for me is: - check under windows if the zip drive gets the B: drive. - than change in your bios the setting of your zip drive from floppy to harddisk. Motherboard: AsusP3B-F Bios 1004 The default setting is auto which is floppy...... Maybe a oversite in the ide-floppy module...... "Peter B. Van Campen" wrote:

Yes it is. You can check yourself by doing 'zcat /proc/config.gz|less' and then search for VFAT. Is this really the default kernel? What does 'uname -a' say?

Isn't it the type of thing that happened to 2.2.6? I was very surprised after updating to 2.2.6 to find out that I cannot mount any diskette with FAT on it. Nothing is perfect in this world. E.g. SuSE kernel 2.2.16 of July 2000 was unable to read multi-session CDs. I hope we got this type of glitch in 2.2.18 but with vfat. -Kastus On Mon, Mar 19, 2001 at 10:40:02PM -0600, Victor R.
