Hi guys,
Is it possible to do packet writing of variable sizes? I've applied the mrw patch to my kernel as i found on the site, but the only way it seems I can create a usable disk is if i use pktsetup with the -q option.
Is there a manual way to reserve a track & say format it with ext2 or so?
also what exactly is mrw? :)
mrw is mount rainier, and you don't need packet writing support for that (it's basically packet writing in firmware, with added defect management). so if you have a mrw capable drive and the small mrw patch, then you can access the drive like a hard drive. -- Jens Axboe
