When you format a Zip/Jaz disk, you will be formatting the "fourth" partition on the disk - this is the way Iomega structures its fault tolerant information to make sure the data is somehow protected from minor faults. You will need to format the disk in something that the SGI can understand. I have no idea what file system support your SGI box has, but I can probably guess that it supports a rudimentary FAT file system at the least (which is the default format of the Zip disk, anyway). mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda4 (or the proper device entry for your Zip drive). -- Michael Lee Yohe (myohe+USENET@redhat.com) Software Developer, Engineering Services Red Hat, Inc.
