OK, so that works great, but...

when I use xfmoutdev4 on my zip-disk (/dev/hdb ->ide-scsi-> /dev/sda4 ->
/mnt/zip), the disk does not eject. It says:
Ejecting media...
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

Same thing as when  I do
[remco at bigbird remco]$ eject /mnt/zip
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

but this works:
[remco at bigbird remco]# eject -s /mnt/zip

Can I add the "-s" parameter for xfmountdev4 somewhere? I did have a look at
the manual, but it doesn't say anything about paramaters for the various
devices....

Thanks!
