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.)
