jaztool 1.0 ----------- Iomega Jaz Tool for Linux Usage: jaztool where must be the full name of a scsi device, eg: /dev/sdc, note that you must not specify a partition on the device. can be one of: eject ejects the disk in the drive ro puts the disk into read-only mode, and ejects rw puts the disk into read-write mode, and ejects status prints the read/write status of the disk If the disk is in a password protected mode, you will be prompted for a password when you attempt to change the mode. This version of jaztool does not officially support putting the disk into the password protected read-only mode, but the command 'PWRO' will do this if you are really sure that you want to. REMEMBER: if you forget the password, you will not be able to put the disk back into read-write mode. NOTE: The JAZ drive also supports a protection mode 5, under which the disk is neither readable nor writable until it is unlocked with a password. This program cannot unlock a disk in mode 5 - as Linux is unable to open a disk that is not readable. To support this feature would require patching the Linux kernel. (And therefore, there is no command to put a disk into this mode, either.) Whenever you change the write-protection mode, jaztool ejects the disk. This is done to ensure that Linux will recheck the mode before it attempts to use the disk again. This distribtion includes a binary version (jaztool) compiled with gcc 2.7.2 on the Linux 2.0.7 kernel You can get the Latest verison at: http://www.cnct.com/~bwillmot/jaztool/ Bob Willmot bwillmot@cnct.com http://www.cnct.com/~bwillmot/ $Id: README,v 1.3 1996/07/27 17:50:31 root Exp $
