Now, I compiled the kernel with the array of size 8 instead of 64 and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks. Does this mean that this newer version (or something inspired in it) may be included in newer kernels? It is nice to save a few bytes also. :-) [The SCSI Errors] > The particular commands causing your problem are PREVENT-ALLOW MEDIUM > REMOVAL; they tell the drive to lock the medium in place or unlock it. > Your device probably doesn't have removable media though (that is, you > can't remove the storage medium from the drive the way one can with a Zip > drive), so naturally it doesn't understand.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a basis for knowing which drive to get when I got this one (almost exactly one year ago, on 5th of July). Not that I'd know what to buy today. :-) But as I'm quite short on money, I'll keep what I have right now. :-) > If you want, you can prevent Linux from sending those PREVENT-ALLOW > commands, which will prevent the error messages from appearing in your > log.

Ok, thanks for seeing the logs and telling me the workaround. I'm looking forward for the 2.6.8 kernel, then. Talking about newer releases, would it be possible to have the patch with the larger array in time for 2.6.8? Thank you very much again, Rogério. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogério Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
