Smith) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: iomega Zip drive with BSDi 2.1 (help) Date: 24 Jan 1997 04:26:33 GMT Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 63 Message-ID: <5c9dlq$h7e$1@csnews.cs.colorado.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: taussky.cs.colorado.edu Keywords: iomega zip drive BSDi help Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:5601 We're trying to get an iomega Zip drive (internal, Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller, zip drive on id #5) to work with BSDi 2.1. Has anybody done this and gotten it to actually work. Most people will be using it with the msdos file system to transport files to and from home. It could just be me not knowing how to mount disks partitioned with fdisk correctly, but here's the info I can give you on the drive. TIA, Greg Mount attempt: -------------- em.cs:smithgr> sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sr0d /mnt msdos: /dev/sr0d on /mnt: Invalid argument Disksetup Returns: ------------------ em.cs:smithgr> sudo disksetup /dev/rsr0a # Missing disk label, default label used. # Geometry may be incorrect. # /dev/rsr0a: type: SCSI disk: IOMEGA ZIP 100 label: flags: removable driver-generated bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 64 tracks/cylinder: 8 sectors/cylinder: 512 cylinders: 384 sectors/unit: 196608 replacement sectors/track: 0 replacement sectors/cylinder: 0 alternate cylinders: 0 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 196608 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 383) c: 196608 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 383) FDISK table: # size offset scyl shd ssc ecyl ehd esc type 1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0x00 # (Unused) 2: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0x00 # (Unused) 3: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0x00 # (Unused) *4: 196576 32 0 1 1 95 63 32 0x06 # (DOS) -- Gregory P.
