When there is no disk in the IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI drive during boot, only the device node /dev/hdd is created. Then, mounting a ZIP disk fails with the error message: "mount: special device /dev/hdd4 does not exist"
Creating /dev/hdd4 manually with mknod, makes it possible to mount and
use the ZIP drive, but after reboot (without disk in drive), the /dev/hdd4 has
disappeared again.
This happens in spite of the following special rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:
# workaround for devices which do not report media changes
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z][0-9]*", SYSFS{removable}="1", \
PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/ide-model.sh %k", RESULT="IOMEGA ZIP *", \
OPTIONS=all_partitions, NAME="%k", GROUP="floppy"When there is a disk in the IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI drive during boot, the device node /dev/hdd4 is created as required.
