RE: putting an ext2 filesystem on a zipdrive

[Ryan Marinoff <RMarinoff DynaLinkCorp com>]

Isn't hdb the second HDD on a IDE controller?  If so, isn't there another
device name for the zip drive on an IDE controller?  If so again, then that
could be a problem.  (reason for the questions, is that I don't know the
answer to what I asked, but that might help for now)

	Hi all,
	I am trying to put a linux file system on a zip drive
	I delete current partition, create new linux partition
	than I write partition table to disk. Using fdisk or
	cfdisk both  work fine.
	Next I try
	mke2fs /dev/hdb1
	and I get I/O errors I thought this was the command
	to format the disk but am wondering if I am missing
	a step is there a seperate command 2 format the
	zip drive before it makes the filesystem? or do
	I have a bad zipdisk?
	            Linda
