Martin Petersen's comment on the article http://www.osnews.com/thread?409410 is pretty clear, explaining what seems to have happened to this particular tester with this particular drive. Note also this gem: "Caveat being that Fedora is the only community distribution I know of that's using the updated bits. I don't think all of them made it into Fedora 12 but I'm sure Fedora 13 will do the right thing." Several people have been working hard, from the kernel, up to partitioning tools and on up to mkfs, to handle these drives. -Eric -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
