Hi All, I've salvaged some drives from a MTI fibre channel RAID device, and I'm trying to use them in linux 2.4.18. When the scsi module loads, it sees the drives, but reports them all as having the dreaded "unsupported sector size 528" message. All the searches I've done seem to indicate a low-level format of the drives. The FC card I'm using, however (Emulex LP8000), doesn't seem to have an option for low-level formatting. My fibre channel toys are rather limited, in other words, I don't have any other controllers with which to low-level these drives. Am I out of luck? I wouldn't mind the inefficiency of only using 512 of the 528 bytes in each block if there's some way to override the default setting... although I would much rather reformat them... Oh, the drives are all ST136403FC drives if that matters. Thanks in advance for any clues...
