- Hi there,
-
- Last week I reported that the installation of the JAZ drive went smoothly.
- That's still true, so I'm not complaining about that.
-
- Left my A3000 on unattended (not running anything much) for several hours over
- the weekend and when I went to use it later that night, one of my partitions
- had become unmountable. Let me try to further explain:
-
- The JAZ has spindown in hardware such that after 30 minutes of inactivity
- it spins down. It will then spin up the next time its accessed. I have
- four 100MB partitions on the JAZ (the rest probably going to NetBSD), and
- one of the partitions icons was still listed but when I clicked on it -
- the response was that was not mounted.
-
- I was able to remove the icon by using the "assign work: unmount" but
- unable to figure out how to remount it (no entry in mountlist). Any
- clues - other than rebooting (which is what I did)
