There, I've summoned the courage to post it ;-)
I have a Toshiba 1101 DVD-RAM drive attached to a Symbios 53C810a SCSI
card. I have a cartridge formatted by Windows to FAT-16 with 64K clusters.
It has never worked in 2.4-test (I got the drive on test-6) however
it works perfectly using the 2.2 series kernels. The DVD-RAM drive is in
two-LUN configuration: using single-LUN doesn't seem to make any odds.
Before I trusted anything to the DVD-RAM drive I wanted to be sure it
worked, so I copied 410MB of .RAR archives to the disk. At first I just
got CRC errors and once a trashed FS on the cartridge (it was Ext-2
formatted at the time) , but since installing test-7 I get a kernel Oops
when trying to decompress an archive on the cart (or even read it with less!)
The test cart is currently formatted by Windows to FAT-16 with 64k clusters.
I am not on the mailing list so if you could CC replies to me directly
that would be great.
