<div id="RTEContent">Thanks Alexander for your reply. I went through the man pages with all the option the last one I've tried: /dev/hdb4 /media/zip auto user,exec,dev,suid 0 0 but I still get: [ed@mybox~]$ mount /media/zip mount: special device /dev/hdb4 does not exist even thoough /dev/hdb4 is there. I need to be root to mount the device: [root@mybox ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/hdb4 /media/zip/ Then it get's mounted. Why I can mount the cdrom but no the zip drive? These are they descriptions on /dev: [root@mybox ed]# stat /dev/hdb4 File: `/dev/hdb4' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 block s! pecial file Device: dh/13d Inode: 107552 Links: 1 Device type: 3,44 Access: (0640/brw-r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 6/ disk) Access: 2005-11-20 00:17:10.269227776 -0800 Modify: 2005-11-20 00:17:10.269227776 -0800 Change: 2005-11-20 00:17:10.000000000 -0800 [root@mybox ed]# stat /dev/hdc File: `/dev/hdc' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 block special file Device: dh/13d Inode: 666 Links: 1 Device type: 16,0 Access: (0600/brw-------) Uid: ( 500/ ed) Gid: ( 6/ disk) !
