[S.u.S.E. Linux] HD problem or what?
Hi! I have a Seagate ST-31276A hard disk, and I run into problems when I'm trying to read from the last cylinder (I think) of my drive under linux. I have never encountered such problem under other OSes (like Win95). Is it a physical problem or I just did something wrong? Anyone had such problems?

As a rule of thumb I never use the last cylinder of a drive. I have read about people running into trouble with this in linux on usenet. The drive I have linux installed to is a 4 gig Western Digital Caviar IDE that has 969 cylinders. I only use 1-968 and no worries here. Magyar Viktor wrote:

hi viktor i posted something similar in Message-ID: <<A HREF="msg00046.html">3550a335.1962289@titan.eclipse.net.uk</A>> on 4may98, where i had to set max cylinders to 780, not 784. don't know if it is disk or bios problem. let me know if you want a copy by email to repeat my request to SuSE: ********************************************************************* If the disk formatter gets an 'unrecoverable read error' could you please make it STOP the installation. not carry on the way it does at present ? ********************************************************************* thanks morgad -- ODB++ compatible pgp: 1024/AB181ED9 58 12 68 68 47 87 16 81 47 93 F6 75 31 61 C8 26 -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
