Yep, you need an entry in /sys/scsi/scsiconf.c. Unfortunately, too much crap is being produced these days, thus multiple LUNs are disabled by default for most devices. Your entry needs to go into the #if NSD > 0 section, and it needs the SC_MORE_LUS flag. Please, once you've got this entry working, run a ``diff -c scsiconf.c.orig scsiconf.c'', and submit the change using send-pr. > Also, the logical geometry reported by the Symmetrix for each drive is > 18,410 cylinders, 15 heads, 64 512-byte blocks.

MO drives typically also have some 18000 cylinders, but with only one head there. I've got such a drive working fine. Geometry figures are fairly pointless anyway. If you're clever, you don't need them at all. :) (At least, on non-boot mediums, otherwise your BIOS cares for them due to the stupid 1024 cylinder limit.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
