Last month on FC3 I made my updates on a zip-drive that has always
worked.
Now, moved over to FC4, no luck.

"Unable to mount the selected volume.

mount could not determine the
filesystem type, and none was specified"

lspci, lshal, fstab, udev and nautilus show signs of recognizing my IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI.

google did not help. For bugzilla I would not know where to look.

Hint anyone?
thx Henk

You have not said what you're trying. i.e. are you trying to mount from within the computer:/// in Nautilus or from the command line?
   I am also having trouble mounting from Nautilus, but I can mount using :
mount /dev/hdb4 /media/zip

Try this: With a disk in the Zip drive:
sudo /sbin/fdisk -l # use su if you have not set up sudoers file for yourself

You should get a list of all ATA and scsi disks/partitions. Find your Zip on this list and note which partitions are available. Then mount that partition. IOMEGA Zip format tools default to 1 partition number 4, but if you have a disk formatted by Linux or windows or whatever, it may not be formatted that way. Once you know what partition and dev you could mount it manually or edit your /etc/fstab to make it work.
