for me it is a bug and just a bug and until devfs is corrected ( or
kernel removable media detection ) we have to found a workaround.
In all HOWTO they just say : mount your zip to sda4 and that's all
I'm not going to say : mount it with /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0
So my question is ( I not longer have a zip drive ) does making the
device /dev/sda4 in /lib/dev-state solve the problem ? if not, is there
a way to make devfs not handle zip drive ?
or patch zip driver subsyteme to make it act as supermount ?
