Being somewhat unfamiliar with the SCSI layer of Linux, I have a few questions:
* I have a jaz cartridge with some bad sectors. When I try to use badblocks[mke2fs|scsiformat] to [check|make a fs|format] the disk, it gets stuck in DW state. At this point the process is unkillable, and the drive is unuseable. System load gets stuck at >= 1. Is there any way to prevent this from happening, as this causes many problems when rebooting [fsck fsck fsck].
* Is it a good idea to have the Jaz on the same SCSI bus as the OS disks? * Can I safely remove/attatch the Jaz without powering down?
System is 2.2.4, PII-450, 128MB ram, all SCSI with dual Adaptec 2940UW controllers.
