-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi!
I'm getting serious trouble from this driver since I tried to add a LaCie d2 BigDisk 500 through the USB to the system (a 2.6.3 kernel). Fdisk reports bogus drive geometry and only recognizes 1Gb out of the 500Gb, which of course is really bad. I can use this drive under Mac OSX and Windows 2k/XP/2k3 without any problems. Linux allow me to create a partition on the "drive" after I've been forced to change the geometry by hand. mkfs manages to create a filesystem on this partition but fails to write the superblock and therefore I'm unable to write anything to te drive... Bad, right? I've looked through the kernel archives and there are some mentions about this because there is something about the kernel just trying to read BIOS for drive geometry and for a USB device that is a bit cumbersome... right? There seems to be some problems either with the BIOS part or there is something in the handover between USB and SCSI layers. However I was able to read this beast under 2.4.21 although formatted under XP and with NTFS... No good! So here I am treading water with a useless 500Gb just waiting to be used with Linux... Any ideas on how to get this on track again??? Thanks for any help! /Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.2 iQA/AwUBQR9ZsITNuy8mcLTPEQIXBwCgicGpLmxlN+W90fckGZ6LhoJbxSgAoMtX 3VCnxYelmjfrZbqwRH1lQqjD =uapw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
