This patch is based on the mo2513 patches from Eric Youngdale <eric@sub2317.jic.com> and the msdos patch from Thomas Eberhardt <thomas@cevis.uni-bremen.de>. I made some minor changes, so you can now use MO scsi disks with a sectorsize of 2048 bytes. This time only the MSDOS and ext2 filesystems are patched to work with it! For using the ext2 filesystem on disks with 2k blocksize, the partition must be formated with blocksize of 2k (mke2fs -b 2048 ...). I changed also the result of the IOCTL command HDIO_GETGEO. It now returns also the hardsector size of the device (for fdisk). This requires also a new fdisk, that can handle 2k sectors. There`s a patched fdisk version available at the web site.
