I have just installed Suse 9.2, and can't get my Iomega Atapi zip drive to work. The boot log indicates that this drive is detected as hdd. However, when I run the suse hardware tool, it is unable to find the drive unless there is a zip disk in the drive. When I put a zip disk in the drive, the drive acts as if it is being read briefly more frequently than once a minute. The slows the system down dramatically an produces very frequently repeated string of msgs in the system log of the form Jan 31 00:00:20 linux /etc/dev.d/block/50-hwscan.dev[20540]: new block device /block/hdd/hdd4 Jan 31 00:00:20 linux /etc/dev.d/block/51-subfs.dev[20550]: mount block device /block/hdd/hdd4 Jan 31 00:00:21 linux /etc/dev.d/block/51-subfs.dev[20609]: umount block device /block/hdd/hdd4 Jan 31 00:00:21 linux kernel: hdd: hdd4 Jan 31 00:00:21 linux /etc/dev.d/block/51-subfs.dev[20609]: umount: /dev/hdd4: not mounted Jan 31 00:00:21 linux kernel: hdd: hdd4 As far as I can tell, subfs doesn't support zip drives. I have tried inserting the appropriate entries in fstab for the zip drive such as /dev/hdd4 /media/zip vfat noauto,users but this has no effect. Similar fstab entries worked fine in Suse 9.1 and several different versions of Red Hat. The oddest thing about all of this is that, when I list the directory /dev, there is no entry of the form hdd4. Every other possible hdd# is there, but hdd4 is missing. However, this is the right partition for a vfat formatted zip disk. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gaunce Lewis
