I see this with my ATAPI Zip-250 under 2.2.12, but fdisk, mke2fs, etc, all work there.
ALAN: You will probably remember my commenting on seeing the above message to you a while back. Any idea what might have changed since to cause this?
Incidentally, when I put a Zip-100 disk in the drive, the two values are approximately 250M and approximately 100M resspectively, and when I put a Zip-250 in, they are DIFFERENT numbers, but both approx 250M. I can't check the exact numbers at the moment as the relevant box is down following a hard drive crash...
