Edmond" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Floppy Disk Formatting? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am setting up tripwire, and need secure storage of the dump tables - I chose floppy disk. However, after running these commands: disklabel -w -r fd0 floppy tripwire newfs fd0 and mounting the drive, I only see 855 1-K blocks on the device! No bad sectors on these disks, I assume it has to do with the Warning message I get from 'newfs': Warning: 1216 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated Any method to formatting and putting a new file system on and getting even close to the 1.44k on these floppy filesystems?
