Further clutching at straws on my part reveals that the disk is seen
fine under NT (on the same laptop with the same card), and the VFAT
volume I created under NT is OK under linux. The following is a
sample of the error sequence:
SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 27010000
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 56410, absolute sector 56442
SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 27010000
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 56376, absolute sector 56408
SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 27010000
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 56806, absolute sector 56838
SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 27010000
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 57158, absolute sector 57190
SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 27010000
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 57158, absolute sector 57190
I've now resigned myself to redoing the work I'd moved to this disk (no,
it isn't backed up) and am going to leave a low-level SCSI format running
overnight on the assumption that I've violated the drive geometry somehow.
