DESCRIPTION
Disk write-protection is done by software for Iomega's JAZ
and ZIP drives. jaztool and ziptool make these features
available for Linux. Before performing any protection mode
changes, it is checked that device is actually a JAZ or
ZIP drive and that no partition of the inserted disk is
currently mounted.
OPTIONS
-e Eject the disk.
-ro Make disk read-only. If the current mode is pro
tected by a password, you are prompted for it.
-rp Make disk read-only and protect this mode with a
password. The maximum length of a password is 33
characters.
WARNING: Don't forget the password! Otherwise you
will have to reformat the disk in order to remove
write-protection.
-rw Remove any protection from the disk. If the cur
rent mode is protected by a password, you are
prompted for it.
-ld Lock the Drive door so the disk cannot be ejected.
Only works if the disk is already mounted.
-ud Unlock the Drive door
-m Mount the device dev4 on [dir], then lock the door
(like -ld)
-u Unmount the device dev4.
-s Get the current protection status. Supported modes
are:
unprotected
