hi,
I have 2 problems related to reading IRIX EFS cd's.
-------problem 1:
mounting an EFS cd from my Yamaha CDR-4416S SCSI CDRW consistently
causes a lockup when i try to read directory/file data from the CD. I
observed this initially with EFS CDR's, and assumed something had
gone wrong when burning that CD. But the exact same thing happens
with original SGI IRIX media. I have no problems with any of my EFS
CDs when accesed from an ATAPI CDROM.
i havn't been able to capture an oops, but the following made it to
the remote syslog host:

------problem 2:
My IDE CDROM under ide-scsi emulation does not like trying to mount
EFS CDs, here are the logs of multiple mount attempts:
Oct 31 00:06:50 fogarty kernel: EFS: 1.0a -

Oct 31 00:07:56 fogarty kernel: EFS: cannot read volume header
after this the CDROM behaves strange (gtoaster can't read data track,
which it could before), until i put another disk (eg audio) into it
first.
-----------------------
result:
to mount an EFS cd i have to use my IDE CDROM in ATAPI mode, as the
SCSI CDRW locks the machine.
then to burn an EFS cd i have to reboot and set my ATAPI CDROM to use
ide-scsi emulation - if i want to mount the CD for any reason i have
to reboot again to get the IDE CDROM back to pure ATAPI mode, then
reboot again for ide-scsi to burn a cd... slightly frustrating. :)
the devices are:
[root@fogarty xinetd.d]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Known problem, blocksizes != 2kb does not currently work
correctly with SCSI CD-ROM (it's even on Ted's list).

Same deal, SCSI CD-ROM driver. As you noted, pure ATAPI drive will
work just fine.

rmmod ide-scsi ; insmod ide-cd
mount, etc
rmmod ide-cd ; insmod ide-scsi
burn

doesn't work is one thing.. but an instant lockup? that's a bit

so once the scsi cdrom is fixed then ide-scsi should work too?

didn't think this was possible. will try that. thanks.

It's untested behaviour at this point, all bets are off. It
hasn't oopses here though...

let me mail you an IRIX EFS CD.. :)
(only half joking here. if you want one for testing let me know).

how far down the TODO list is it? (to this user anyway it's
important).
thanks for the answers jens,

Not just CD either. SCSI disk has the same problem in 2.4 but not 2.2

Disk too? I guess Eric broke more than he bargained for :)

Could this have something to do with the problem I reported where
running:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1k count=2G
to write data to my ORB drive over a USB connection causes
all writing to my hard drive to cease? The USB Storage
driver uses a virtual SCSI interface.

Magneto optical disks are 2K block size with 512 byte chunked MSDOS fs on them
