scoopy Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Maybe something like the cf card reader problem i have. I don't think they came out with a fix yet... just a workaround. I leave a spare card in when I boot so I don't get any error messages. Maybe boot with a zip inserted and give that a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanrev Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have no alarm whatsoever just when I want to open the ZIP it takes two minutes before I can read the data or use my PC everything being blocked in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I suspect it's a supermount problem with your zip drive. Post your /etc/fstab file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanrev Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 what is to be done in order to make my scsi internal iomega ZIP 100 operate with MDK 9.1 ?

jeanrev Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I noticed to-day that I have the same problem : a delay when I open for the first time a floppy disk after setup of the computer then the fault disappears and the following openings are OK strange not ?

pmpatrick Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I think the problem is supermount; both your zip and floppy are running with supermount as well as your cd drives. I always disable supermount because I always have problems with it and I'm not alone; supermount is pretty buggy and when you have a problem with one of your drives you can never be sure it's not supermount. Supermount is mandrakes automounting feature for removable media drives. To disable supermount run the following as root: # supermount -i disable This will automatically edit fstab to remove supermount from all effected drives. However, your zip, floppy and cd drives will no longer try to automatically mount the removable media when inserted. You'll have to manually mount the drive in a console or create a mounting icon for each drive on your desktop.Try the zip drive first. Place a zip disk int the drive, open a console and run: $ mount /mnt/zip Report any error messages if you get any. Next, navigate to /mnt/zip and see if you can see the contents of the zip disk. Try reading and writing to the disk as well. When your done testing, you have to unmount the zip drive before you remove the zip disk. Do so by running: $ umount /mnt/zip Note, that's not a typo; the command is "umount", not "unmount". If that worked OK, you can create a mounting icon for your zip drive on your desktop by doing the following: 1.Right click on your desktop and go to Create New>Floppy Device in the drop down menus; 2.In the resulting window that comes up, type"Zip Drive" in the field to give the icon a name; 3.Click on the "Device" tab which will reveal an empty field to designate the appropriate device. Tick the black arrow to the right of this field to reveal a drop down menu listing every device in fstab. Select "/dev/sda4"; 4.Tick on the General tab and then tick"OK" on the bottom. Your new zip drive mounting icon will appear on your desktop. To use the icon you just made, put a zip disk in the drive and click on the icon. Konqueror will automatically open up and display the contents of the zip disk. You'll also notice that the icon changes when in the mounted condititon. Next, close konqueror, right click on the mounting icon and select "unmount" from the drop down menu and remove the disk. You always should unmount the drive before removing the removable media from the drive. Make mounting icons for your floppy and two cd drives. They will work exactly the same way. I am fairly confident that this will correct the problems you are having. The symptoms you describe are typical of the type of problems that supermount causes when it decides not to work. I always disable supermount and so do many other long time mandrake users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
