[SLE] ATAPI Iomega Zip question
I have an ATAPI iomega zip drive. While setting up my fstab file, I tried to mount the /dev/hdc device... but of course it did not work. Then I tried to add a number to the device's name, just I am used to do with my HD. I have found out that /dev/hdc4 works. What's the meaning of that number? Why there must be THAT number?

That was recently mentioned: It't the fourth partition used, for compatibility with Macs. My IOMEGA disks (ATAPI) mount nice as /dev/hdd. Everyone else seem to have hd?4.

Are these original Iomega disks? The partitioning of ZIP medias seems to depend on the manufacturers. Some follow Iomega, i.e. use the fourth partition, some use the first one.

A few were indeed IOMEGA, others FUJIFILM. root@marvin:/etc/ppp > mount -tmsdos /dev/hdd4 /mnt mount: Falscher Dateisystemtyp, ungültige Optionen, der »Superblock« von /dev/hdd4 ist beschädigt oder es sind zu viele Dateisysteme gemountet root@marvin:/etc/ppp > mount -tmsdos /dev/hdd /mnt root@marvin:/etc/ppp > ls /mnt films.tgz prinz27.tgz sambapdf.zip root@marvin:/etc/ppp > Still the original "bought" MS DOS format...
