By the way, I tested on ia32 architecture with the same disk (kernel version is 2.4.20-pre11) while ago. I was surely successful with mkfs.jfs, mount and read/write. I suppose this problem may be architecture specific. I heard that the block layer bug about >1TB device was fixed around version 2.4.18. Are there still bug in sd driver? --- CHIKAMA Masaki @ NAIST E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
