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." I have been able to "solve" the issue by doing a kludge where I changed the /etc/fstab entry for the Zip drive from: /dev/sda4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 to /dev/sda4 /media/zip hfs noauto,user 0 0 At some point however, I am going to need to access a Zip disk in another format and will have totaly forgotten about the kludge. I first tried to get this issue answered on the SuSE-E list, as I am working at this time mainly from a Athlon powered box with SuSE 7.3 Pro (KDE 2.2.1), but there doesn't seem to be anyone on the list that has any experience with HFS. The one answer that I did receive seems to make sense, but as I am still a newbie, I am unsure how to implement it, though I did literaly try /mnt/maczip: On Saturday 20 April 2002 16:35, Tor Sigurdsson wrote: - 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 :-) Anyone on the list have an idea as to how to solve this, or if the above is the correct way to solve it, would care to walk me through the steps?
