MkLinux with Quantum Drive.

MkLinux with Quantum Drive.

Post by Stephen C. Nabe » Thu, 19 Mar 1998 04:00:00



I installed several times MkLinux DR2.1-6 on a couple of Quantum drives
I have (a 3Go,4Go,2Go).

Mklinux does not seem to like these drives.  It crashes very often when
accessing the drive cannot fix errors.  Running fsck or e2fsck manually
does not help.
Moreover, at startup I have a message saying "Bad sense data" on all the
Quantum drives I have, whereas everything works fine on other drives.
I may not have read everything there is to read on MkLinux but are
drives over 2 Go supported?

I can't comment on your particular drives, but I have MkLinux DR2.1-6 on
an external APS-packaged Q1080S, connected to my 7200/90, and I've never
had any problems with the drive.  At one time, I also had MkLinux  on an
internal 3 GB Quantum Fireball SCSI drive, and I never had any problems.

  Thank you.  I upgraded the e2fsprog with the one found in the DR3 ftp site,
and everything seems to be O.K now.  I don't know what went wrong.
