Re: [Plug] Mounting Zip drives in RH6.0
|
Ah! The ZIP-Drive mini howto was mainly talking about drives hooked to the scsi
device, thus the sda4. So taking you advice, interpetting for an internal drive:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip
Worked like a charm!! I guess the partition we always want under Linux start @ 4
for zip disk(?).
Well, that's what it seems to be.
They should include this information in their howto. ;-)
Thanks dude.
