Potentially. IBM renamed the part number when the drives got known to be dogs. I thought they also defaulted the firmware to get around the problem. You would have to check the full threads complaining about the DTLA parts to be certain; I didn't follow the problem closely enough except to recommend using the outer cylinders only for the FS and OS data for an embedded system I worked on at one time (no, not the InterJet). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
