Hey Brian, I'm definetly no expert in subfs, but that seems to work fine for me. Try Peters suggestion and go the old way. If that works, so much the better. What subfs seems to do, is to eliminate the need for mounting and unmounting (like under Windows but using a much safer algorithm). However, nothing prevents you to go back to the old way (yay for choice ;-) ). Oh yes, replace his /dev/sda4 by /dev/hdd since your zip drive seems the be slave on the second IDE controller. Also put everything on one line (from /dev/hdd up to and including the 0 0). If that doesn't work, could you post your /etc/fstab? Eric On Thursday 17 June 2004 09:39, Peter Vollebregt wrote: <snip>
You can try to do it the 'old' normal way and do not use subfs. My line in fstab is: /dev/sda4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0
You already created a directory /media/zip. Otherwise do. In KDE you can put an icon on your desktop to mount the zip drive (you can ofcourse do it manually). In 9.0 this is done like (do not have my 9.1 for me): right-click -> create new device -> zip device and choose the correct device (/de/sda4). Mount and umount via this icon.
HTH, Peter
