It has always been that way with all ZIP and JAZ media, as sold they
always use the 4th primary partition only (hdx4 or sdx4). Why ?
Better ask Iomega.
On the other hand, you can perfectly well use normal partitioning
(e.g. with Linux or Dos fdisk), you can also put ext2 (or other)
partitions on it, and the drive will not complain, the media
will be perfectly usable. Possibly some Iomega tools (for Windows)
would complain, but I don't even think so, and anyway we don't care
under Linux ...
