Use of the Jaz Drive with the Laptop

Don't do any of this while "btcprocess" (discussed in the BTC setup docuemntation) is running. That script manages the Jaz drive automatically, and could become confused if you start using it on the side as well.

To use the Jaz drive, just make sure it is hooked up to the laptop as documented in the aforementioned BTC setup file, and turned on.

Inserting a new Jaz disk

• Stick the disk in the drive
• Wait (listen) for the drive to spin up
• Type "mount /jaz" at a unix prompt on the laptop. Any user can do this, you do not have to be root.

The jaz drive will be mounted at /jaz. There will probably be a directory /jaz/deep in which you, as deep, can muck around.

Removing a Jaz disk

Important! Don't just pop that sucker out. To do so could corrupt its filesystem, making you sad! Always follow this procedure.

• Type "umount /jaz" at a Unix prompt. Any user can do this.
• Wait for the unix prompt to return. The Jaz drive might make a little noise, it might not.
• Push the button on the Jaz drive.
• Wait for the Jaz disk to pop out.
• Put the disk back in its case.
