I take it, then, that the geometry doesnt really matter at all... as long
as it adds up to the right amount.....

For some reason fdisk likes to make one of our drives have like 67 heads,
and 63 sectors, when it actually has like 14 and 30-something.. Pretty
weird....

On a similar note, is there any work being done on RedHat and/or the
kernel so that SCSI works? Im tired of gettign SCSI errors, and watching
the system puke if I try to use more than *gasp* 2 hard drives at once...
