Hello,

I didn't try devfs for a long time, I wasn't using it because of a problem
I hadded, but didn't remember which one...

Now, I can remember: I can't access my IDE zip which is normaly (without
devfs) under hdc.

Could someone explain me what I am doing wrong?
I can't test it with a partitionned ZIP as all my ZIP have no partitions.

I give here the output of somes commands (under 2.4.16 with devfs):

[greg@localhost /dev]$ ll hd*

My /etc/fstab contains:
/dev/hdc        /mnt/ext2       ext3            nosuid,noauto,nodev,user                1 2

[greg@localhost /dev]$ mount /mnt/ext2/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
       or too many mounted file systems

[greg@localhost /dev]$ sudo fdisk /dev/hdc

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1757.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p
