I just bought a 4.3gig Quantum Fireball SE (the new one), and
when I partitioned it, the partition table was all screwed up
looking. The "begin" field did not match the "start" field.
This drive's geometry is:
C/H/S=14848/9/63
Linux fdisk complains when starting up that this drive has a
large cylinder count. Does this mean that I just raked out $330
for a drive I can't use in Linux?
If that is the case, does anyone have a projected date of when
support will exist for my drive? I'm not looking at any
whiz-bang code that pushes 200megs a second. Even if the drive
runs slower than molasses in january, I'll be happy so long as it
WORKS IN LINUX.
Anyone?
