Subject: Zip Drive - the endless question
> I cannot mount my internal Iomega ZIP drive under Linux Redhat 6.0.

> When I look under dmesg I see that the Linux sees the drive and assigned

> already done. I've searched deja.com and tried everything I can find
> there. I've added an entry to fstab (via linuxconf), I've referenced it
> both as hdd and then after reading some posts, I changed it to hdd4.
> I've tried every permutation of mount I can think of. Some I've tried

> mount -t vfat /dev/hdd /mnt/iomega
> mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega
> mount -t msdos /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega
> mount -t ext2 /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega
> mount -t auto /dev/hdd4 /mnt/iomega (This one gave a different error,
> saying that I needed to declare the file type first. It didn't like
> auto, even though many many posts indicated this was a solution.)
> mount /mnt/iomega (assuming that this command would reference fstab and
> mount as defined therein.)

> For all of the above, except the noted exception, I get the following

>
> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4,
> or too many mounted file systems

> Judging from the number of posts on usenet, this is a very common problem.

> BTW - I'm having the same trouble mounting my floppy. My cdrom, my linux
