I've got a parrallel port zip drive, and I can mount it no problem using the command "mount_msdos /dev/da0s4 /zip" However I'd like to create a Unix filesystem on the disk. So, after unmounting it, I typed "disklabel -w /dev/da0s4 zip100" however I got the error message "disklabel: No space left on device" Do I need to destroy the msdos fs first? If so, how do I do this? Many thanks! I'm using 3.1-R --- Andrew Boothman http://sour.cream.org Unmetered Telecoms.
