I can't explain all of the problems you see, but it's clear that the USB interface chip in your adapter case doesn't work very well. Part of the problem is that it reports that it supports SCSI rev 04, but then it crashes when it gets a REPORT LUNS command -- for which support is mandatory in SCSI 04. A patch to work around this was posted at https://lists.one-eyed-alien.net/pipermail/usb-storage/2005-February/001456.html This doesn't explain the difficulty you have with mke2fs. At this point the only thing I can suggest is to get a better enclosure. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
