Found something interesting (iomega zip drive)

[krp]

While perusing my /etc folder I came across the /udev/rules.d folder. Contained within the /etc/udev/rules.c tree is a series of files:

00-init.rules
20-names.rules
25-iftab.rules
40-permissions.rules
60-symlinks.rules
65-persistent-disk.rules
80-programs.rules
85-pcmcia.rules
85-alsa.rules
85-hal.rules
85-hdparm.rules
85-hwclock.rules
85-ifupdown.rules
90-hal.rules
90-modprobe.rules
99-udevmonitor.rules

I opened the 20-names.rules and pertaining to zip drives found this:

# Work-around for IDE devices that don't report media changes
BUS=="ide", KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", SYSFS{removable}=="1", \
ENV{ID_MODEL}=="IOMEGA_ZIP*", NAME{all_partitions}="%k"

Could this be part of my zip drive problem? Also ... what in the world does that stuff mean?

Am running xubuntu v6.06.
