Several things can go wrong. Here's a list of things to check: - Make sure that you newfs the second disc BEFORE you mount it on the root disk - Make sure you newfs the second disc with sufficient swap space (at least 30MB) If you don't do this, it will never work! - Never have both disks on at the same time with the same address You shouldn't need to re-initialize the disk, but you will have to newfs it. ============================================================================= Gabby Obegi, CAE Systems Manager Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory MS 90-2148 (415) 486-5209 1 Cyclotron Rd Fax: (415) 486-6668 Berkeley, CA. 94720 Internet: G_Obegi@LBL.gov =============================================================================
