Subject: [OT]Raw Disk Support?
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 09:38:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D945F48.5DC9D233@compro.net> (raw)
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Just figured you all would know the
answer for sure.
I have a need for an application I'm writing to be able to read raw data from
scsi disk drives that were used on an old Proprietary OS. (MPX-32). These disks
are formatted at a 768 byte sector size. All disks using this OS were formatted
at a 768 byte sector. Is there any way that I can read the raw 768 byte sectors
with Linux?
I guess first, will a Linux scsi driver let me read 768 byte sectors and second
is there raw disk device support such that I can read these disks without a
known filesystem type being on them?
Thanks in advance and Regards
Mark
