I've taken a stab at at putting a file system on one of the disks. The following steps will place a file system on the disk. * scsiformat sd2 - Takes about 7 to 9 minutes to format * disklabel -w -r sd2 zipdisk - The following entry is in my /etc/disktab. I've forgotten who posted this to the mail list. zipdisk|100 MB ZIP disk:\ :ty=removeable:dt=SCSI:\ :se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:\ :pa#196576:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:\ :pc#196576:oc#0: * newfs /dev/rsd2c * mount /dev/sd2c /mnt This is all well and good. It works nicely but I have two problems: the first is when I mount the disk I get the following on my xconsole sd2(ahc0:5:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 sd2(ahc0:5:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed sd2(ahc0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB sd2 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic sd2: raw partition size != slice size sd2: start 0, end 196607, size 196608 sd2c: start 0, end 196575, size 196576 the other problem is superior# df . Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd2c 95343 1 87715 0% /mnt superior# It's bad enough that you don't get 100 meg that you would think but where did the other 7.6 meg go to ? I understand that some gets lost in laying out the UNIX file system but this does seem exessive. I'm sure I doing something wrong, any ideas ?
