SUMMARY of the response to the following question:

How do I label a IOMEGA ZIP 100 drive so I can mount it as
a UFS Filesytem?

I got a very helpful response from Andy Sheaff (sheaff_at_eece.maine.edu).
He has a utility which enables the labelling of a ZIP 100 disk. I
have just tried it today and it works very well.

As of today the ZIP 100 utility was at:

  ftp://ftp.eece.maine.edu/pub/src/alpha/util/ZIP_disklabel_1.0.tar.gz

I tried making an entry in the /etc/disktab file but the disklabel utility
always tried the ZIP drive first and came back with the message like:

   no label on disk

Several people say this is new in version 4.0 and is a bug. The disklabel
utility never did get to the disktab file.

Thanks very much to Andy Sheaff.

This is a great mailing list.
