Re: Device Renaming in FC4

I recently installed a Zip drive in my linux box but I've run into a strange problem. The hardware browser shows the drive as /dev/hdc however the fstab file shows it as /dev/hdc4. I can edit the fstab file to /dev/hdc and log out and back in and the drive works great. No problems until I reboot. Then the fstab file shows the entry changed back to /dev/hdc4 again rendering the drive useless. Does anyone have a solution to either keep the fstab file as I have left it or change the device name so that the hardware browser reports it as hdc4.

Thanks

Steve,


ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/hdc4

Maybe that helps.


Kind regards,
