Changing SCSI Block Size

[Vicis]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project where I am expected to change my company's Fibre Channel block size from 2048 bytes to 2112 bytes. They'd like to use the extra 64 bytes to add in some extra data. I know we need to edit the driver for the SCSI drive, but I am having problems finding exactly where. Does anyone have any idea what I should be looking for? I have been searching the Internet and there haven't been any clear explanations on how to do this. This is being done on the Linux RedHat Operating System. Thanks in advance for your help.

- John

I have a question about changing Block size on a Seagate ST15150 SCSI HD and noticed your post in a Google search on the topic. I just posted my problem on Tek-Tips, and saw that your post was dated Jan '04 and had no reply. Just wondered if you ever came up with anything.
