Hello,
I have an IDE MO drive, and I usually do not make partitions on MO disks: I prefer to create filesystems on the "raw" device (i.e., not having /dev/hdc1 containing the filesystem, but /dev/hdc). But mounting such disks often produces the errors like the following:
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt/mo hdc:hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdc: read_intr: error=0x20 { } hdc1 hdc2 hdc3 hdc4 hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdc3 hdc4
This happens not only for vfat, but for the ext2 disks as well. And it tends to appear only if change the "type" disk: e.g., I first mount /dev/hdc1, and then /dev/hdc or vice versa. If I mounted /dev/hdc1, then mounting other partitioned disks do not produce errors; the same is for unpartitioned disks /dev/hdc.
By errors I mean those kernel messages "hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 ...". But also attempts to determine the partitions when I'm _explicitly_ mounting /dev/hdc are looking strange. This is probably a bug of "mount".
Best regards, -- Vladimir.
