20. Removable drives

All SCSI drives should work if the controller is supported, including optical (MO), WORM, floptical,

Bernoulli, Zip, Jaz, SyQuest, PD, and others.

Panasonic MO (combines a CD−ROM drive and an optical removable disk). You have to set a switch

when configuring the kernel to get both part work at the same time.

Removable drives work like hard disks and floppies, just fdisk / mkfs and mount the disks. Linux provides

drive locking if your drives support it. mtools can also be used if the disks are in MS−DOS format.

CD−R drives require special software to work. Read the CD−R Mini−HOWTO.

Linux supports both 512 and 1024 bytes/sector disks. Starting with kernel 2.1.32 Linux also supports 2048

bytes/sector. A patch to kernel 2.0.30 is available at here.

The 2048 bytes/sector support is needed for

Fujitsu magneto−optical disk drives M2513•

Starting with pre−patch−2.0.31−3 IDE/ATAPI internal Zip drives, flopticals and PD's are supported.
