I'm the proud owner of a DataFrame 20XP. I just downloaded the newest SuperMac system software from Sumex (how's that for alliteration). So, I put the new software on my drive, backed up with the new version of diskfit, reinitialized (not updated) the disk and did a resotre. Here's the interesting part: Disk Space (in Kilobytes) before init after init after restore Used 17788 32 16117 Free 2518 20194 4109 TOTAL 20306 20226 20226 I have three questions: 1) Where did the 80K that disapeared during the init go? I assume that they were bad blocks that were taken out of service. 2) Why did exactly the same files take up 1671K less after the restore? Mind you, I'm not complaining. 3) I've been crashing FullWrite quite often recently. I remove the VM files regularly. But, I thought I noticed a decrease in the free space even after I removed them. Does FWP have a history of "loosing" disk space? thanks, marc -=- Marc Sarrel sarrel@cis.ohio-state.edu | Slow is fine, but... Department of Computer and Information Science | Fast is better, but...
