jaztool 1.0
-----------
Iomega Jaz Tool for Linux
Usage: jaztool <dev> <command>
where <dev> must be the full name of a scsi device, eg: /dev/sdc, note
that you must not specify a partition on the device. <command> can
be one of:
eject ejects the disk in the drive
ro puts the disk into read-only mode, and ejects
rw puts the disk into read-write mode, and ejects
status prints the read/write status of the disk
If the disk is in a password protected mode, you will be prompted for
a password when you attempt to change the mode. This version of
jaztool does not officially support putting the disk into the password
protected read-only mode, but the command 'PWRO' will do this if you
are really sure that you want to. REMEMBER: if you forget the password,
you will not be able to put the disk back into read-write mode.
NOTE: The JAZ drive also supports a protection mode 5, under which the
disk is neither readable nor writable until it is unlocked with a
password. This program cannot unlock a disk in mode 5 - as Linux is
unable to open a disk that is not readable. To support this feature
would require patching the Linux kernel. (And therefore, there is no
command to put a disk into this mode, either.)
Whenever you change the write-protection mode, jaztool ejects the disk.
This is done to ensure that Linux will recheck the mode before it attempts
to use the disk again.
This distribtion includes a binary version (jaztool) compiled with
gcc 2.7.2 on the Linux 2.0.7 kernel
