I have been googling for a whole night trying to find the solution to this problem. Seems others have had it but I can't find the solution...
I have a 100 MB Zip drive, on the parallel port. I got it working under RedHat 9, after some configuration. Now I'm trying out - or mirating to - Mandrake 10, and was happy to see that the Mandrake install detected the zip drive right away.
Trouble is, even though it gets auto-mounted, I can't see the files on the zip disk - and I can't access them.
I've tried unmounting and mounting it, editing /etc/fstab and so forth but can't get it right. I have a hunch it might be something with the permissions but then I should at least be able to read the files as root.
This is driving me nuts... Maybe it's something ridiculously simple that I'm not seeing???
Here's what I get on a ls-la (as root) in the /mnt directory:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# ls -la total 19 drwxr-x--- 5 root adm 4096 May 9 23:57 ./ drwxr-x--x 21 root adm 4096 May 9 23:51 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 7 11:11 cdrom/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 7168 May 9 23:58 floppy/ drwxrwxrwx 0 root root 0 May 9 23:51 zip/
This is my (current state of) fstab:
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/zip supermount dev=/dev/sda4,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
And this is my mtab:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 / ext3 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 /home ext3 rw 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/zip supermount rw,dev=/dev/sda4,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
Many thanks in advance :-)
