Subject: DVD-RAM media detected with wrong number of blocks (2.4.7)
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 22:10:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <v04210101b781c827accb@[10.0.2.30]> (raw)
When attempting to create an ext2 partition on a dvd-ram (2.6G/5.2G)
media the number of blocks is detected wrong causing only half of the
disk to be usable. When creating the filesystem with mke2fs only
609480 2K blocks are allowed instead of 1218960 2K blocks, and I end
up with a 1.2GB partition instead of 2.4GB one. The 1.2GB fs works
fine, it's just a bit small :(
This is with 2.4.7 using a Creative DVD-RAM drive (1216S) on an Adaptec 2940UW.
The correct number of blocks is detected in 2.4.6
