I asked a while back about problems I was having getting badsect and bad144
to work on a Vax 750 running Wisconsin 4.3BSD + NFS, with eagle drives. I
got replies from Andy Ingle (andy@uk.co.acorn) and Chris Torek
(chris@edu.umd.mimsy) for which I am grateful.
Andy said that he'd had a similar problem and got a new set of 4.3 hp
drivers from the disk vendor (System Industries) which worked with 4.3+NFS.
Unfortunately spending money on the Vax wasn't on.
Chris suggested that we might not have rebooted after bad144 (which was true
and might teach me to RTFMP [Read The Friendly Manual Properly]) but also
suggested that some of the relevant code might well be "dubious" and
"fragile".
In the end we had formatted the disks [machine constantly hanging :-(], so I
don't know if bad144 would have worked or not.
Thanks again to Andy and Chris for their replies,
--Alex
