Hello. I'm not sure that i'm gonna tell about the same problem (haven't seen the beginning of this thread). I have a terrible problem with my SCSI MO drive since (2.2.2, in 2.2.1 it was working ok).

My MO media is double sided (each side 625M). but when formating ext2fs under >2.2.1 it seems that mke2fs interprets one side of MO disk as 1250M (it gets block count two times larger than it is).
i still can format it under >2.2.1 (if the real number of blocks is explicitly specified in mke2fs command line options). but when i try to mount it under earlier kernel - i get an error (usually bad superblock)
disks formatted under earlier kernels simply could not be mounted under >2.2.1.
so there is some incompatibility. I wonder what has changed since 2.2.1 that caused all this problems.

me too.
