@C3@l@b@cMount a Disk
@cThis feature will autodetect and attempt to mount the current disk in
@cthe drive based on its information obtained from its partition table.
@cThe disk will be placed at /zip or /jaz in your filesystem, depending
@con which type of drive you are working with.

@C4@m@bNotes
@b/etc/jazip.conf:
jaZip uses this file to map the raw SCSI device name of the drive
you wish to use onto its mount point.  If you have more than one
drive on your system, you can create a seperate entry in the
configuration file for each one, and then specify the raw device
name of the drive you want to use on the command line when you
invoke jazip.  If no device name is given on the command line,
jazip will use the settings in the *first* entry of /etc/jazip.conf
by default.

@bMultiple partitions:
Some users, particularly Jaz 1G and 2G owners, may have created more
than one partition on their disks.  Currently, jaZip will mount only the first
partition it encounters while reading from the partition table.  It is
assumed that most users will be using the devices for archival purposes,
in which case a single large partition is the best way to lay out the media.

@bMount points:
The mount point is obtained from the second entry in the jazip configuration
file (/etc/jazip.conf).  See above.
