| |
Hello,
my friend has a following problem: He has FAT filesystem on MO disk and computer with SCSI drive reading MO disk. The problem is that smallest blocksize supported by the driver is larger than 512 bytes which FAT needs. What is the right solution? Copying the device and loopback mounting is always possible but it's not nice... Should I fix the driver to support 512 byte sectors (I'm not sure if SCSI drivers are supposed to support that)? Another solution I though about is creating loopback directly to device but loopback device supports only blocksize same as underlying device... So do you think it would be nice/useful if loopback device supported any blocksize?
