Yes.
As you suggested, I download latest Partition Manager (1.13a13 [debug]).
I used !SDirector to format and partition HD in 2:
1. SCSI partition 3015 Mb size
2. SCSI partition 1105 Mb Size
I'd like to use first partition for ARMLinux.
I run Partition Manager, I digit SCSIFS as Filing system and
Eesox as Partition type and return.
Double click on drive icon 4, 3015 Mb partition.
A small window "Disk Geometry" shows :
Filesystem : SCSIFS::4
Cylinders : <empty>
Heads : 1
Sectors : 17
Here I don't know very well what to du but ....
I tried to fill "Cylinders" field with a number I calculated:
cylinders = bytes of partition / (sector size * sectors * heads )
with sector size=512 as Partition Manager shows.
The "Disc Size" field in the main window of Partition Manager
now shows the correct size of partition.
NOTE: I also tried to let "Cylinders" field empty and "Disc Size"
blanked with the same results.
The partitions list shown is:
Partition Start End Size Type
1 0 1 0Kb Filecore
- 2 6175933 3016Mb Free
2 6175934 6175935 0Kb Filecore
I press 'MENU' and select "New..." but the following message is
shown:
"Error while creating new partition: unable
to allocate slot for partition"

Sure. I'm sorry I forgot kernel version in my latest mail.
Eesox 'fast' SCSI-2 interface cars,
Linux also shows this code: [0064:008C]
Under RiscOs:
SCSIDriver 1.03 (09 Mar 1998)
SCSIFS 1.03 (10 Mar 1998)
