First, let me say I'm posting from an account other than my normal mailing
address, because our news server is down. So if you send me mail, send it to
skinner@unc.cs.unc.edu. I probably won't read news until sometime next week.
But I do have mail forwarded.
I have a Seagate 157N with a Pacific Peripherals controller. I have the
disk partitioned into:
WB: the workbench, will be bootable if I bother to get the ROMs,
DH0: FFS, &
DH1: FFS.
I haven't been too concerned about access speed for most things, so I put
the entire Workbench, the Extras tools directory, and miscellaneous stuff in
WB:, because I thought it was the best organization. Other things will go into
DH0:, and DH1: will be a working directory when I need it. But after putting
a little bit more stuff into WB:, I have filled it up already. (You'd think
I'd have learned THAT by now! :^) So I copied the contents of WB: and DH0:
(obviously not nearly full yet) into DH1:. Before I do anything rash, can
I reformat WB: and DH0: with a bigger size for WB: and replace the contents
from DH1:? I tried just changing the mountlist, booting from a floppy, and
mounting just DH1:, but it didn't work.
The easiest fix is to create a bin directory in dh0: for things that don't
fit into WB:, instead of adding them to C:. That might be a bit cleaner, too,
since WB: would only hold stuff from the "official" workbench and extras disks.
Thanks,
