Iomega reccommends that zip disks be ejected before the machine is shut
down, and their latest windows software does this automatically. I'd
like to know if there's a way to get this effect using linux. I took a
look at the 'eject' utility, but it only seems to support cdroms. Is
there a similar utility for zip drives (or removable scsi drives in
general)? Or, (perhaps better) a flag to autoeject on umount? If there
isn't a utility, is there a kernel function I could use to write such a
utility?
Thank you.
