Gentlemen, ladies:
I'm unable to mount my zip drive as a regular user:
[ed at mybox ~]$ mount /media/zip
mount: special device /dev/hdb4 does not exist
If I reboot with zip disk inside the drive /dev/hdb4
gets created:
[root at mybox ~]# stat /dev/hdb4
File: `/dev/hdb4'
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block:
4096 block special file
Device: dh/13d Inode: 42416 Links: 1 Device
type: 3,44
Access: (0640/brw-r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root)
Gid: ( 6/ disk)
Access: 2005-11-10 22:52:34.047370144 -0800
Modify: 2005-11-10 22:52:34.047370144 -0800
Change: 2005-11-10 22:52:34.000000000 -0800
Then still doesn't let me mount as myself (regular
user) I got the same message as above. Even as root:
[root at mybox ~]# mount /media/zip
mount: /dev/hdb4: can't read superblock
[root at mybox ~]# mount /media/zip
mount: special device /dev/hdb4 does not exist
Even when the /dev/hdb4 HAS been created as shown
above. I need to be very specific:
[root at mybox ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/hdb4 /media/zip
to mount it to be able to see its contents
[root at mybox ~]# ls /media/zip/
bla, bla, --omitted--
What can I do to be able to mount it as a regular
user?
Any help will be really appreciate it. Thanks
Eddie
