Tried to scan on Linux (scsi commands) at 1MB scan size and got an EINVAL, scanning at the default 64K works.

Looks like there are inherent limits in the normal Linux kernel that prevent such large accesses so this is not likely to be fixed any time soon.

But 2M, 4M or 1025k do work.
Maybe you might want to raise the default 64k anyway. I can hear a high pitch coming from the HDD (heads) when using 64k that doesn't sound all too healthy. It doesn't occur when using greater scan sizes (I'm using 2M).
