Uhh... Mine is a Fujitsu SCSI MO drive on an `Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra' and
I've encountered another problem. When I run

mke2fs -b 4096 -m 0 /dev/sdb1

on a 640MO disk I get a huge amount of kernel messages like

Feb 10 04:02:32 nomad kernel: SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 5 lun 0 return code = 28000002

...

It doesn't worry me, it's a pre-kernel after all, but I just want you to
know that something like this never happened between 2.1.105 and 2.2.1.

Hope this helps,
Mark
