I got 159948588 blocks (whatever that is in Gb!) from a "160G" Maxtor after the following procedure: (1) Update the Ultra100TX2 BIOS (2) Apply the IDE patch to linux-2.4.17 (3) Reboot, and re-run fdisk on the disk. AFAIR I only got 135Gb or thereabouts before the IDE patch, so yes, it does appear to work! - David On Tue, 5 Feb 2002 20:58:05 +0100 (CET) Danilo Godec <danci@agenda.si> wrote: > On Tue, 5 Feb 2002 raid@ddx.a2000.nu wrote: > > > On Tue, 5 Feb 2002, Danilo Godec wrote: > > > > > > There is a BIOS update for Ultra100TX2, that adds support for drives over > > > 137GB, so maybe your controller requires an update too and IDE patches > > > can't do much about it.
