| I'd like to format my ZIP disk to BSD fs. My ZIP drive works correctly |under FreeBSD-2.1.5-RELEASE(I'll update it soon to 2.2) with my DOS |formatted ZIP disks, although it keeps reporting while booting that it has |to use fictious geometry, because ZIP doesn't give any. What I'd like to |know if I can format it without problems. Under DOS and it's buddies -- |WinNT and WinTOYEARSAGO -- I have to use Iomega's special formatter |utility. And just one more question: Is there any release date for |FreeBSD-3.0? You may want to repost your second question. The people that know might not read this message since the Subject only mentions ZIPs. Regarding UFS on ZIP disks, here's a short script that'll do the trick. Supports creating sliced (my pref) as well as "dangerously dedicated" UFS disks. Note: assumes FreeBSD >= 2.2. If you want an script that works with older versions, just mail me. Also attached are my ZIP fstab entries and setuid mountzip and umountzip scripts.
