I beat the living (Ah, i never even thought of Terry running a brok^H^H^H^Hhacked kernel, you're probably right here!) But i can also confirm that this is identical to my experience, the drive is ready to eject (or spindown) as soon as umount completed. > Actually, it has to do with the people who did the SCSI firmware saying > "modepage 4?

The number of sectors per track is not part of page 4, and i doubt ZBR drives will dynamically change their number of heads, or add more cylinders as they are needed. :-) -- 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. ;-)
