I have an Olympus MO330S magneto-optical drive connected to my 2.2.1R system. When I mount it with a FAT-formatted disk in the drive, it works just fine (at least I've never experienced any data errors) but I get a bunch of "Illegal logical block address" or somesuch error messages on the console. (Sorry if the error messages are not exact; the box with the MO is two miles from here and I didn't remember to write them down) So I thought I'd try to format a disk with UFS and see if it worked better (plus the added benefit of a more efficient FS with proper access control and long file names). /stand/sysinstall slices it up nicely, but when I try to write changes from the labler, newfs dies with an "invalid argument" error. Now disklabel -r /dev/od0 won't work (though that isn't a big problem since I can copy an MBR back from another disk) Does anyone have experience newfs'ing MO disks? -- * Finrod (INTJ) * Unix weenie * dag-erli@ifi.uio.no * cellular +47-92835919 * RFC1123: "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send"
