Hello,

I've a mass storage device which is supported by the usb-storage /
generic scsi drivers. Unfortunately the disk geomtry is not reported
correctly which leads to some disk corruptions (I guess the partition
table is partly destroyed) when I mount and write to the device.

If I'd know the correct geometry, would it be possible to tell it to
usb-storage or the generic SCSI driver?

Any help much appreciated.
