 Posted: Thu May 29, 2003 11:23 pm Post subject: parallel zip 250 |
 |
|
| I'm trying to use my parallel zip 250 and there seems to be a problem with it and devfs. It works fine if there is a disk in it when the machine boots and loads the imm module. However, if there is no disk in the drive then the /dev/sda4 device never gets created until after accessing /dev/sda in some way. Maybe this is just how devfs is and I'm not familiar enought with it yet, but it seems like there should be a better way. Also, maybe the imm modules doesn't work quite right with devfs, but I couldn't find anything pertaining to this. Any help anyone can offer would be great. |

Don't worry sometimes when the forums are under big loads the same thing has happened to me too. I have deleted the other two threads of the same name and content already.

Try this in devfsd.conf | Code: | #Create sda4 for usb-zip
LOOKUP ^sda4 CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 sda4
REGISTER ^scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname sda4
UNREGISTER ^scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink sda4 |
This worked for me with an usb zip, be sure you use the right scsi host.
Do an cdrecord -scanbus if you dont know which scsi host your using, othrwise you get booting probs... |
