Hi-

I have a internal jaz drive mounted as ext2 with no problems  My fstab for
this drive looks like:

/dev/sda1       /jaz                      ext2            rw,noauto,user 0  0

As you can see, when one formats the dos partition away on a jaz drive it
gets a 1 number instead of 4.  This provides me the gig drive to back up
stuff, save rpms, etc.  Works great here.  I just formatted the file system
as normal using the fdisk, mkfs (whatever?), and then changed my fstab to
reflect the new place.
