Today I am reviewing the contents of my zip disks, the 100 MB ones.  The
cli commands are:
mount                    # to see all filesystems that are mounted.
mount /media/zip100.0    # to mount the zip drive
ls /media/zip100.0       # to list the contents at the top of the disk.

Here we have a choice for unmounting and ejecting the disk.

umount /media/zip100.0   # which unmounts the disk or 
eject /media/zip100.0    # which unmounts and allows for easy ejection.

Below are the last few lines of my /etc/fstab file.  Notice the use of
users instead of user.

/dev/cdrom         /media/cdrom       auto     ro,noauto,users,exec  0 0
/dev/cdrecorder    /media/cdrecorder  auto     rw,noauto,users,exec  0 0
/dev/sda4          /media/zip100.0    auto     rw,noauto,users,exec  0 0
