I have a problem running 640MB 2048 bytes/sector MO's with linux.
Linux says "non supported sector size" when initialising the drive.
Studiing kernel scsidisk-driver sd.c I found that the current driver
doesn't support more than 1024 bytes/sector. Does sb have/find a
solution
for this problem ?
These medias are obviously the only (non-CDROM-) 2048-byte-SCSI-medias
existing up to now.
Thanks, Robert
I beleive Eric Youngdale has some prototype patches to implement this:
ftp://sub2317.jic.com/pub/scsi/2048-1.diff
comes from a recent message he sent.
