An update on my zip mounting problems.
The disk is formated out of the box for pc (msdos).
mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/zip returns:
VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 08:00
mount: you specify the filesystem type.
mount -t auto /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip returns:
/dev/sda4 is not a valid block device
dd if=/dev/sda of=data.txt count=16:
drive is accessed, and a file is created; file data.txt reports
type 'data'.
fdisk /dev/sda and p returns:
Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 96 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda4 1 1 2142 2193280 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
Partition 4 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 3, 1)
Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(15, 63, 32) logical=(2141, 58, 32)
If I use the same disk in win95, there are no problems.
According to what I've read in the zip-drive mini faq, everything
should be working.
