Grant,

You can set the block descriptor as part of the mode page file using sgmode
from
http://scsirastools.sourceforge.net
You must do a SCSI format of the disk after changing the block size, of
course.

Doug,
thanks - but last time I checked, it's an x86 binary only driver.
I guess I could try it anyway and see if the IOCTLs have
32-bit compat support in ia64 kernel.

thanks,
