Hi, I have an external USB Iomega Zip 250 drive that is working properly after I configured it using sysinstall. I have added an entry to fstab that allows me to just enter "mount /zip" to mount it. /dev/da0s1e /zip ufs rw,noauto 0 0 The problem is that I have more than one zip disk that I would like to use. I have some zip 100's and some zip 250's. The only disk that has a ufs filesystem on it is the one that was in it when I configured it, a zip 100. What is the proper way in 4.8 to prepare my other disks so that I can insert any of them, regardless of the size, and just enter "mount /zip"? I'm thinking use sysinstall with one of the zip 250's in the drive, configure a new slice, and mount it at /zip2...? Then I would "mount /zip2" Then maybe I can just insert one of the zip 100's, and manually put a filesystem on it like I was installing a new HD...? Am I close? Is there a *real* easy way? -- Thanks, Charles http://howse.homeunix.net Random Murphy's Law: The inside contact that you have developed at great expense is the first person to be let go in any reorganization.
