more info:
when I try to mount /dev/hdd1, I get:
#mount -t ext2 /dev/hdd1 /tmp/td
mount: /tmp/td is not a valid block device
?? I tried restarting to a rescue mode on the cdrom. There I found
that I can mount /dev/hdd1. I can also run /sbin/hdparm on it: the
info thus gleaned follows:
#hdparm /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 4092/16/63, sectors = 4124736, start = 0
#/sbin/hdparm -I /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
Model=TS2321A2 , FwRev=.024 , SerialNo=
JG9M8289
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% }
RawCHS=4092/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off
CurCHS=4092/16/63, CurSects=4124736, LBA=yes, LBAsects=4124736
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:383,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2
I am confused!
