On bootup I can clearly see that my Iomega Zip Drive is detected as *hdb*
and DMA is turned on, but when I get to desktop....NO ZIP :? Drive!!
I have previously set up a persistant home directory using a USB thumb drive set as *sdb1* and this drive does apear on the desktop.
Can anyone here help out this newb ?
Thanks,
Matt
Never owned or used a zip drive before but it shouldn't be hard to mount it. Of course I presume that you have a disc in the drive.
su
fdisk -l
That will show you what discs are available and what they're called. Let's say you have hdb1:
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1
cd /mnt/hdb1
ls
You should see whatever is on the disc.
If not post the output of fdisk -l please.
Here is my output of fdisk -l
There is NO mention of *hdb1*
It is as I have said, clearly detected and listed during bootup!
Yes, I have a Zip floppy inserted in the drive

From what I've read the internal ZIP drives would use SCSI emulation. This means that your drive will (should?) appear as /dev/sda.
A few things to try (grepped from forum postings)
Hopefully your drive shows up there.Code:cdrecord -scanbus
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
You can try probing a driver:
<driver> is any of the following:Code:su
modprobe <driver>
ide-floppy
ide-scsi
sd_mod
scsi_mod
Check to see if any of the drivers probed:
After modprobing a driver scan the SCSI BUS again and see if it's there. Post your results please.Code:lsmod
If none of that works then you could always search the mailing list archives or even submit to the list if you find no answer.
gluck
Here are my results of: cdrecord -scanbus *and* cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Also, when I modprobe scsi_mod I get: not found, and when I modprobe ide-scsi I get nothing!
Thanks for your interest and help on this.

That's exactly the behaviour you'd expect if it worked. See if the driver loaded:Quote:

Cool so we find your drive living on SCSI BUS 1 so *hopefully* it is only a matter of mounting the drive correctly.Quote:

Assuming you find it under /dev/sdb:Code:fdisk -l /dev/sda
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
OR it has also been suggested that you mount the entire drive:Code:mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy
Maybe some more explicit mounting instructions are necessary:Code:mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/floppy
You can always issue mount to see what's mounted and where.Code:mount - t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy
gluck
gluck,
lsmod|grep ide-scsi comes back... nothing!
Same with: fdisk -l /dev/sda
/dev/sdb1 is my usb thumb drive.
Mount command shown below
And finally mounting entire /dev/sdb also below.
Thanks again for your input.
