I was just trying out 2.4.15-pre4 and noticed that I am completely unable to create partitions on my magneto optical drives (2048 byte hardware sectors). Using fdisk to (try to) create a single partition uttery fails. dmesg shows:
ll_rw_block: device 08:10: only 2048-char blocks implemented (1024) sd.c:Bad block number requested I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0 SCSI device sdb: 310352 2048-byte hdwr sectors (636 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: unknown partition table SCSI device sdb: 310352 2048-byte hdwr sectors (636 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: unknown partition table
With 2.4.13-ac5 doing the exact same thing works fine with the following showing up when running dmesg:
ll_rw_block: device 08:10: only 2048-char blocks implemented (1024) SCSI device sdb: 310352 2048-byte hdwr sectors (636 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: sdb1 SCSI device sdb: 310352 2048-byte hdwr sectors (636 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: sdb1
