Sorry for the long posting but ...
I recently began using a zip drive for backups on my FreeBSD system.
Some strangeness is occuring during multivolume backups. (It can't span
media)
To install the drive I followed the posting from Nick Sayer posted here
using the following in the disktab file:
zip|zip 100:\
:ty=removable:se#512:nc#96:nt#64:ns#32:\
:pa#196608:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:\
:pb#196608:ob#0:bb#4096:fb#512:\
:pc#196608:oc#0:bc#4096:fc#512:
then
% disklabel -r -w -B sd1 zip
% newfs /dev/rsd1a
According to Iomega, the Solaris setup should be :
disk_type="Zip 100"\
:ctlr=SCSI\
:ncyl=2406:acyl=2:pcyl=2408:nhead=2\
:nsect=40:rpm=3600:bpt=20480
partition="Zip 100"\
:disk="Zip 100":ctlr=SCSI\
:2=0,192480
The drive seems to work ok except for the following strange messages:
During Boot

and during media changes:

ficticious geometry
Jan 21 10:49:22 dblizzar /kernel: sd1: invalid primary partition table:
no magic
How should I set it up properly???
Sorry for the long posting
