I just got a Maxtor LXT-200S SCSI hard drive, and was needing to know how you find the correct settings for the MountList entry for that drive. I've got it set up now so that I should be getting just over 200MB out of the drive if I use all the cylendars. The way I understand it, it doesn't really matter what you tell the system about the drive, as long as the totals don't exceed the number of blocks available on the drive. The only reason for tuning the entries in the mountlist file is for some optimization. My old drive (Seagate 277N) I got the specs by calling the place I got the drive from (Great Valley Products), and asking. I can't do that this time since I ordered it through an IBM place. So how do I find out. The manual for the drive lists all the specs you could ever want. I just don't know how some of them relate to the mountlist entries (like MaxTransfer).
