C3100 - Usb Host & Iomega Zip Drives
« on: February 15, 2006, 02:24:14 am »
I decided to try one of my 3 Iomega Zip drives connected to my C3100, because I have a bunch of photo archives on 100 MB zip disks.
Nothing mounts automatically. I have two 100 MB, USB zip drives and a 750 MB USB Zip drive, all made by Iomega. None of them are recognized when hooked up to the host cable.
I verified that the host was working by hooking an external USB Hard drive enclosure. The Hard drive enclosure works. It mounts as Storage /dev/sda1
What do I need to do to "Read" my Zip drives? Are they treated the same way as a Floppy drive would be? If they need to be recognised as a Floppy, I'm not sure how to make that work either..
BTW, these drives do work in windows, and they are plugged into an external power source.
Thank you in advance for any help on this,

Jon

I tried mounting it in the console as root, but my attempts failed:
mount /dev/sda1
no such device
mount /mnt/usbstorage
no such device
mount /dev/sda4
no such device (I used sda4 because someone else posted he mounted a Zip250 with this)
Same results with /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdc2 (no such device, & can't find /dev/sdc2)
It shows as being "seen" in systeminfo>devices.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you meanie, I finally got it. I'm a long time windows user.
First, didn't know to use "sda4" as the device name. Is the entry in demsg "sda: sda4" my clue for device names?
Also, I thought I was using the command correctly, until you showed your suggestion with the "  /mnt/usbstorage" added to the end of the command.
Even that didn't work at first until I added "/" to the end of it.

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/usbstorage/
I wrote that down and taped it to my Zip drives for further refrence.....
Thanks again,
Jon   )

EDIT: now if I can figure out how to make photo storage see my drive.
Image pad works though, it allows you to browse directories.
EDIT2: How do I unmount it now? unmount command not found.
If I repeat the above mount command, it says device is busy.
NEVERMIND, I found it... unmount without the first 'n' (umount)
Actually, the disk popped out and startled me, but it worked...

The reason that you have to specify where you want it to be mounted is that there is not an entry in fstab telling all about the mount...

If you take a read around the web you can probably write an automount script as well...

Thank you Cresho and omega,
I have no clue about creating scripts, where to place them, or what to do if something goes wrong if I do create one with an error, (typo).
I really need to study Linux some more before I start digging around in configuration files.

Thanks again,
Jon
BTW, I printed some nice little stickers with the above mount/unmount commands and stuck them to my three Zip drives
EDIT: I still wonder why Photo Storage doesn't "see" my zip drives.? Is it because the disks don't  have /Documents/Photo_Files/ like my SD card does?
EDIT2: I just noticed in Photo Storage, if you use the "Copy Photos" option from the "Top" interface, it only gives you 2 choices to copy from. [CF card] and [SD card].
