Hello. I've got a SCSI Zip drive which I'd like to use on a 5.4 box. So far it works with two minor problems: a) I'd like to be able to mount it as my day-to-day user. So I put myself in the operator group; added the following to /etc/devfs.conf: own /dev/da1 root:operator perm /dev/da1 0660 own /dev/da1s4 root:operator perm /dev/da1s4 0660 Then the following to /etc/fstab: /dev/da1s4 /mnt/zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0 The issue here is that "mount /mnt/zip" will fail because /dev/da1s4 does not yet exist. First I need to try and mount /dev/da1, then da1s4 will be created. Is there a way to automate this? b) It's *slow*! The same hardware with a different operating system (OS/2) gave almost twofold performances! Copying a 90MB file to a zip drive takes more than 10 minutes and it didn't with the old software. Is there a way to improve this? Here's the relevant dmesg: sym0: <895> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xd5201000-0xd5201fff,0xd5202000-0xd52020ff irq 15 at device 10.0 on pci0 sym0: Tekram NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, LVD, parity checking ...
