Combing the archives shows there was some possible work being done on this for 2.6. However, I can't find anything confirming this has either been fixed in 2.6 or is still on the TODO list. Has the block layer been fixed such that hard disks with an odd sector count can be fully accessed within Linux (access the last sector)? kind regards, lt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
