(Note: I am resending this note, since I am having problems with my other mail account. Any and all help would be most appreciated.) I have just purchased a Jaz drive, and after reviewing the questions in the archive, I have a couple of my own: 1. How do I go about formatting the disk to be used as a Unix partition? I want to mount it so that I can backup my data to it. 2. Is there a resolution to the 'sleep' issue? If I access the drive after it has powered down, it causes a 'panic'. Would placing a simple 'ls' to /dev/null in cron work around the problem, or do I need to mount and unmount the drive? Are there any other issues that I should be looking out for? Thanks -- Stephen ______________________________________________________________________ Stephen.Couchman@iwds.com http://www.iwds.com/
