The drive mas "manually" formatted and partitioned based on the vendor supplied characteristic data. It was painful enough. I don't have the data at hand right know, but can post them to the net tomorrow or directly to you if you are interested. You also have to configure- and build a kernel which is able to recognize the drive, which you you probably know how to do? Our disk excerciser was able to get 2.1Mb/sec out of the drive when doing raw reads with big block sizes. Seems to be a good alternative to the RZxx series of drives. The above mentioned test has also been run on many other 3d party SCSI disk connected to the PMAX. Drop me a note if anyone should be interested. +==================================================================+ ! ! ! Steinar Kjaernsroed, ! ! Dpt. of Informatics, ! ! University of Oslo, ! !
