Hi
I'm desperate to know how to make my machine recognise my
2048-bytes-per-sector (640mb) MO disks under Linux. I'm currently
using kernel 2.0.30, and have no such problems when I try to access
files or create partitions on my 512-byte-per-sector (230mb) disks.
I've been digging around for some time trying to find a solution to
this but to no avail. I also (unfortunately) use Windoze OSR2 and
encounter no such problems under that with the standard SCSI drivers.
My SCSI system:
PCI Adaptec 2940Ultra SCSI card
Mitsubishi 640mb MO drive
Is there anyone who can tell me how to get these things to work so
that I can partition and use these disks?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if I'm asking something that's already
been said.
Jack Lindsay
