Re: Trouble mounting Zip drive (solved!)
[snip] Hi and thanks for all help! Seems like I have found a sollution (thanks to this excellent tutorial http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/10/ and the help from the mailinglist members): One thing: I still don't understand how I should know that the device is rda0 or rda0c or even da0 sometimes in the example below. If someone could explain I'd be happy :-) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda0 count=2 2+0 records in 2+0 records out 1024 bytes transferred in 0.040405 secs (25343 bytes/sec) # disklabel -Brw da0 auto # newfs /dev/rda0c Warning: Block size restricts cylinders per group to 97. /dev/rda0c: 196608 sectors in 48 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors 96.0MB in 1 cyl groups (97 c/g, 194.00MB/g, 12288 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 32 # mount /dev/da0c /zip # df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 126M35M81M30%/ /dev/ad0s1f 252M22K 232M 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s1g 5.1G 760M 3.9G16%/usr /dev/ad0s1e 252M 2.9M 229M 1%/var /dev/ad1s1e 3.0G 405M 2.3G14%/backup procfs4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%/proc /dev/da0c 94M 2.0K87M 0%/zip Best regards, Andreas --- Andreas Wideroe Andersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: (+47) 90 92 61 21 http://www.filmshooting.com Norsk Smalfilm AS http://www.smalfilm.no ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Andreas Widerøe Andersen [2005-07-06 10:42 +0200] Hi and thanks for all help! Seems like I have found a sollution (thanks to this excellent tutorial http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/10/ and the help from the mailinglist members): I didn't follow this thread from the beginning, so I'm not sure if this was ever an issue, or if it has been discussed. But when I used ZIP disks some two to three years ago, I had some issues with password-protected and read-only disks. I found a solution for that sending raw commands to the device using camcontrol. If you're interested, I could try to dig up my notes on the matter. At that time there was no command line utilities I could find that would set these bits on the disks.
