Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 17:06:25 -0400 (EDT) From: "art s. kagel IFMX x2697" <kagel@dg1.bloomberg.com> To: Frederic Woodbridge <fred@truenet.net> Cc: linux-scsi@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: <3343C658.67AC9DAE@truenet.net> I am sorry I was REALLY out of it the day I answered your message. I reread the answer the next day and I did not understand it. Here goes again. Most controllers support ASPI commands. There are utilities for DOS, at least, that can issue ASPI commands. Amoung the ASPI command set are commands to set drive configuration parameters. If your drive has a configurable sector size you can use an ASPI utility to query and set the configuration before attempting to reformat. I downloaded a DOS based ASPI utility from the IBM bulletin board (can't find the phone number now though. Your controller manufacturer, or quantum, may have such a utility which you can get. Call their tech support line. That was how I got it from IBM. However, your latest message, referring to the HP netserver concerns me. This may be a different problem. The netserver may be creating a logical sector of 6x512 bytes. I am posting this back to the mailing list in the hopes that someone knows the HP netserver, I do not. Art S.
