I have another bit of strangeness for you. Look at the following terminal output: [charles@localhost .gnome-desktop]$ mount /mnt/zip mount: special device /dev/sda4 does not exist [charles@localhost .gnome-desktop]$ su Password: [root@localhost .gnome-desktop]# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip mount: special device /dev/sda4 does not exist [root@localhost .gnome-desktop]# mount /dev/sda /mnt/zip mount: you must specify the filesystem type [root@localhost .gnome-desktop]# exit exit [charles@localhost .gnome-desktop]$ mount /mnt/zip [charles@localhost .gnome-desktop]$ umount /mnt/zip [charles@localhost .gnome-desktop]$ mount /mnt/zip [charles@localhost .gnome-desktop]$ I boot the system with no disk in the USB zip so of course could not mount it with mount /mnt/zip then when I su to root and try to mount /dev/sda /mnt/zip I get the fs type error. At this point I exit back to user and can now mount and umount the disk and then mount a different disk. /lib/dev-state/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0 remains enpty but /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0 contains the block device entries disc and part4.
