Will anyone who has been experiencing problems with the minix filesystem for MiNT 0.8 please mail me full info , this site has been known to miss the occasional post or two,so mailing me is the only sure way to let me know , so that any problems can be fixed. By 'problem' I mean anything no matter how trivial , I am particularly interested in anything that makes 'fsck' complain , non recognition of minix partitions , disk-change problems , logical partition problems (this should be OK now unless the minix partition uses >1K sectors or any partition has >8K logical sectors). I have not succeded in making fsck complain with my setup , ICD drive and STE with TOS 1.6 , if you find a way then please tell me , 1. What commands caused the problem . 2. What fsck reports (that is minix fsck not a TOS version!!!). 3. Any debugging output (if possible). 4. Your hardware , that is drive and driver software type and version of TOS. 5. Any other info you think may be useful. Any other kinds of comments are welcomed , such as patches , suggestions and flames (if you must ) . P.S. May I reiterate the comments in the docs , don't try using minix partitions unless you are sure you know what you are doing. If you think its a good idea to run TOS filesystem consistency checkers on minix partitions then you *don't* know what you are doing :-) ************************************************************ * Please send any replys to : * * olorin%tardis.cs.ed.ac.uk%ukacrl@any_non_uk_bitnet_site * * olorin%tardis.cs.ed.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu * * Do not mail via ukc.ac.uk which is sometimes the default * ************************************************************
