It's a different sector number every time, and this is the third drive that I have tried in that enclosure (the first two being rather recent models made by Seagate, the one that you have seen the log from an older IBM DTTA from 1999). > It's not clear whether the real source of the error is in the drive or in > the enclosure. I am pretty sure it's not the drive (I have tried three), but can the USB adapter in the system be a problem as well? > One thing you could try is to reduce max_sectors to 128. How can I do that?
