I have met problem - I tried to connect Fujitsu DynaMO magneto-optical drive. It can use 3.5" disks - 128Mb, 230Mb, 540Mb and 640Mb. Disks 128Mb, 230Mb and 540Mb use 512B sector and 640Mb use 2048B sector. When I insert disk 230Mb I can create file system on it without any problem, and, accordingly, can write there. When I tried to insert 640 Mb disk system gets notice message:

NOTICE: Sdsk: Bad block size writing SCSI disk 1 dev 1/64 (ha=1 bus=0 id=1 lun=0), block=42688
Block size(2048) must be between 512 and 1024

And could do nothing with disk.
I use COMPAQ Proliant ML350 - SCSI controller driver - ad160.
Could I increase block size to 2048 Bytes or not, if yes how to do it?


Thanks
