Jack Fowble turned me on to the below web site.
Not specific for the 2GB but look at
http://www-viz.tamu.edu/~sgi-faq/faq/other/zip-drive.html
This is where I got my information from. It contains all the information
needed to initialize a disk and make the filesystem. Instructions are
provided for both the Jaz and Zip drives under IRIX 5.2 through IRIX 6.4.
Iomega drives are fully supported by current IRIX and no special
administrative steps should be needed. I'm operating under IRIX 6.2 and
only found a minor difference.
To format a Jaz disk on an EFS or XFS filesystem, you disable mediad,
format the label(only for a blank disk), make the filesystem, and reenable
mediad.
#Mediad -i -r /dev/scsi/scSdZl0
#fx -x -c "dksc(S,Z)" INITIALIZE NOT #fx -x -c "'dksc(S,Z)'" INITIALIZE
#mkfs -t xfs /dev/rdsk/dksSdZs7
#mediad -I -p /dev/rdsk/dskSdZvol /jaz
where S stands for the SCSI controller (0 or 1) and Z stands for the device
unit number such as 4, 5, 6.
Also Iomega ships a tools disk that is not used for IRIX systems. This
requires a low level format to remove the write protect on the disk. The
command is the same as the initialize except it is a FORMAT. It takes about
40 minutes.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Again thanks to
you all.
