| |
I appear to have found a problem reading from paride hard disks under 2.4.2
Reading from the raw block devices seems to be fine.
# dd if=/dev/pd/disc0/disc of=/dev/null works.
However, accessing partitions on the device through VFS by mounting them hangs the machine.
With vfat and msdos partitions: # mount -t (vfat|msdos) /dev/pd/disc0/part1 /mnt and then # cat /mnt/* > /dev/null or # dd if=/mnt/drvspace.000 of=/dev/null
I eventually see the following error message, and all logins are unresponsive. I can reboot with SysRq.
do_pd_read_drq: status = 0x10050 = SEEK READY TMO
Doing a similar test with an ext2 fs on the drive:
do_pd_read_drq: status = 0x10052 = SEEK READY TMO
Changing parallel port mode in the BIOS does not make any difference.
The paride controller is a Shuttle EPAT plus. The parallel port is an Intel 82371AB (I think)
