I've been using Adaptec 1520B for a few years now; mostly for accessing
a CDROM. I added a Seagate ST32151N drive to hold some images to be
written to a CD-R drive. I was getting corrupted file systems writing
'mkisofs' output to a file on the ST32151N. I then wrote to the raw
partition and found that the ISO9660 image was also corrupted, thus
ruling out ext2fs. I put in a newer Seagate drive on and everything is
now fine, thus (hopefully) ruling out the 1520. I checked the Seagate
site and there appears no way to upgrade any firmware on their drives.
So, does anyone know or any problems with these drives? If so,
is there a circumvention?
Relevant facts:
Linux: 2.0.33
SCSI Driver: aha152x 1.18
Controller card: 1520B (unknown revision level - it's at home)
Drive: ST32151N (part of the Hawk 2XL family)
(unknown revision level - it's at home)
Thanks,
