Gianmarco Giovannelli:
|I have mounted a Zip SCSI on my box... But I am not able to mount the
|disk (msdos format) .
|
|Here is what kernel thing :
|
|(ahc0:2:0): "IOMEGA ZIP 100 E.08" type 0 removable SCSI 2
|sd2(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access
|sd2(ahc0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB
|sd2 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry
|96MB (196608 512 byte sectors)
No problem. I get this too.
|but when I try :
|
|{114} /tmp#mount -t msdos /dev/sd2s1 /mnt
|msdos: /dev/sd2s1: Invalid argument
|
|Where is the problem ?
Two things come to mind. First, ZIPs by default come with the
disk-spanning FAT partition in the 4th slot in the partition table. Also,
the ZipTools will put it there too. You can redisk/format with DOS and
SCSI drivers if you want. I personally leave the DOS partitions on 4 and
put my UFS partitions on 1. Personal preference.
To see where it is:
fdisk /dev/sd2
If it is in the 4th slot, try:
mount -t msdos /dev/sd2s4 /mnt
instead. Of course, whatever device you use, make sure it exists. If not:
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV sd2s1
sh MAKEDEV sd2s4
mkdir /mnt
