hi all,
My internal ZIP 100 has been OK with Suse 9.1 & kde 3.2.1...

But suddenly the /dev/hdd4 block disapeared from the dev folder



when I type : # mount /dev/hdd4 I got :
mount: block device /dev/hdd4 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device /dev/hdd4 read-only

this is how this Zip100 reader has been installed :
Configuration : in the /media folder I created a new folder named "zip", this folder belongs to root and has permissions chmod 777 (same as floppy)
I added the following line in /etc/fstab :
/dev/hdd4 /media/zip auto auto,rw,user,uid=1000,umask=000 00
and everything was fine
I created a bash script to mount/umount this reader with one clic on the desktop it has been working for months, and then suddenly there is no more trace of this reader in Yast/hardware /hardware informations
I am very much interested to read your comments
