To my potential saviour,

I am trying to debug a version of newfs that has been ported to the 
Helios operating system. 
After running  newfs on the ide device, I get spurious errors including 
the following:

partially allocated inode = 0x68

unknown file type inode = 0x9a

in blkerror

The errors seem to come in blocks of partially allocated inodes 
followed by an arbitrary amount of unknown file types messages. 

I have experimented useing various disk layouts and still the errors 
occcur in the same place on the ide disk.

I would be grateful for any advice on the true meaning of these errors 
and for debugging newfs and fsck which is not a very pleasent task 
with 214MB devices.

Thanx
Rob.
