OK. that explains why adding FIFO didn't make any difference. But now I know that I have done whatever you are supposed to do to make it work, so I will try to track down why there are errors. Wanted to know if there was something else to configure or run for the magic to work. The only relevant

I interpret you as: (1) the commands that I issued should work, at least on some machines. (2) the reason they don't work might depend on HW. The machine is an old Dell Pentium III and the disks are regular PATA-drives. I also tried to mount sdC0 with the same outcome. /jonas -Ursprungligt
