Hello,
I have an IDE 250Mb Zip, it work fine, but I can see:
Jun 11 23:52:35 greg sudo: greg : TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/home/greg ;
USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/e2fsck /dev/hdc
Jun 11 23:52:35 greg kernel: ide-floppy: hdc: I/O error, pc = 5a, key =
5, asc = 24, ascq = 0
Jun 11 23:52:37 greg kernel: hdc: unknown partition table
Jun 11 23:52:37 greg kernel: hdc: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512
sector size, 2941 rpm
Jun 11 23:52:37 greg kernel: ide-floppy: hdc: I/O error, pc = 5a, key =
5, asc = 24, ascq = 0
Jun 11 23:52:37 greg kernel: hdc: unknown partition table
Could someone explain me what's wrong?
I can access then the disk without the smallest problem.
It's with all my self compiled kernel... (2.4.n and 2.4.n-acm).
Thanks,
Greg

Nothing. Somethings is reeding /proc/partitions which lists all known
partitions. "fdisk" or "mount" do this.
When reading the file the kernel has to check the media in your zip-drive.
Problem is, you havn't put in one. So there is no partition table to read
and the kernel complains and returns the default values of a typical
100MB zip media.
BYtE
Philipp

Thanks for your answer, in fact, there was a media in my zip, but
without any partition (as I don't see any other reason than avoiding
those errors messages to make just one partition on my disk).
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
Just to make a point on that, as I recall Zip and other super floppy media
*shouldn't* be partitioned. It's certainly possible to do but it's
anyone's guess on how different OS+revs will treat it.
