Partitions: /dev/sda1 DOS /dev/sda2 Linux native /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 extended /dev/sda5 DOS logical drive I couldn't get mkfs to take on /dev/sda2. It would give me sense errors and other SCSI bus overhead errors. I used Linux fdisk, destroyed all the partitions and recreated as follows: /dev/sda1 DOS /dev/sda2 Linux native /dev/sda3 extended /dev/sda5 DOS logical That's how my backup disk is setup. Oddly enough, I have another disk setup similiar to what I first tried and it works. That's the only problem I've had with my Jaz so far.
