Closer still, but not quite. I found an IBM html site that gives me some of the _exact_ specs on my DSAS-3720 drive. Which is fine except that I need to know how to disklabel the drive to avoid the error messages from the scsi driver. This may not be all that I need in /etc/disktab, but hopefully someone can clue me in on how-to plug in the right numbers. Format capacity 730,791,936 user bytes/logical block 512 logical blocks/drive 1,427,328 Cylinders 3302 Alt 2 Total cyl 3304 heads 4 sectors 108 RPM 4500 I was surprised at how far off the mark the probe routines of the driver were; but then, I understand that these need to be rewritten and tuned. Anyway, can anybody clue me in on what steps I need to do to (1) create an `ibm3720' section in /etc/disktab; and (2) how to use disklabel to write these new data so that the previous errors go-away? Thanks, people. gary kline
