Hi,
I've inherited a couple of old 2G SCSI drives which were previously used
on an AIX RISK 6000 370. My SCSI controller is an Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra.
The Adaptec card sees the drives, an IBM 0662 S12, and a MICROP 1924.
Linux boots and sees the drives, although gives errors bad superblock and
bad magic number.
fdisk seems to go smoothly, I can create partitions, write and exit.
When I try to mount the drives I again get the message about the bad
superblock.
I seem to have gone round in circles for a few days and have now run out
of ideas. I don't think the drives are faulty, and get the same error even
though I'm trying two different models. Is the problem that the drives are
ex AIX?
All suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks,
Dan.
