SubjectRe: ZIP drive as /dev/sda1
    From: "Petr Sebor" <petr@scssoft.com>

I thought that zip drive is hardwired ad 4th device, but sometimes Linux
discovers it under /dev/sda1 not /dev/sda4. This gives me troubles with
my /etc/fstab since I don't know, where the zip drive will be next time...

If the partition table on /dev/sda goes empty,empty,empty,stuff
then stuff will be /dev/sda4. If it goes stuff,empty,empty,empty
then stuff will be /dev/sda1.
You can put two lines
/dev/sda1 /mnt/zip ...
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip ...
in /etc/fstab.
(And if you like to say "umount /mnt/zip" then
use the umount from util-linux-2.9w, released yesterday.)
