Yes, in theory ;-) I have an internal IDE 100MB Zip @home. In the office I have a 250MB USB ZIP.
The media is partitioned, with the 4th primary partition formatted as VFAT.
On the IDE I mount /dev/hdb, on the USB thing I mount sd[ab]4 depending if the flash reader is there or not. Hmh?
# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 4 heads, 32 sectors, 1536 cylinders Units = cylinders of 128 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb4 1 1536 98288 6 FAT16
Of course I use different kernels, @home: 2.4.9ac18 and 2.4.1[34]-xfs; @office for now 2.4.9ac3+bcl.
Until now I thought it had something to do with the different gendisk, LDM or so. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
