| |
Hi,
I recently acquired a 1.3GB MO drive. When I use small (230MB and 540MB)
MO disks which have normal 512 bytes/sector it all works flawlessly but as soon as a put in a 1.3GB disk which uses the 2048 bytes/sector format it all goes wrong. As soon as I write something to the disk by issuing a cp command the command just eats 99% CPU time and does not write a single byte to disk (it seems). Is this a known problem? When I check the kernel logs it seems that the sector size is correctly identified. The problems occurs with both the ext2 and fat filesystems.
I also tried it with 2.2.18 there it works but it seems to be utterly slow. I'm using kernel 2.4.2(XFS version to be precise).
Any solution to this problem?
Greetings,
Jurgen
