[comp.unix.wizards] Version 7 on Wicat

randy@umn-cs.UUCP (Randy Orrison) (08/29/87)

I'm trying to bring up V7 on my Wicat 150 with a 39M disk.  The disk was
tested with UniSofts Sys5 verify and came out ok, and was in use for a long
time with Sys5 with no major problems, so I know it's in good shape.
However, badblk in V7 reports continuous badblocks starting at about
66000+ (of 87000), so many that the program eventually dumps core (so I
can't map them out).  Other V7 programs (fsck) also report bad blocks out
at the high end, so I can't get it installed.  Has anyone out there had
any experience with this system?

(I apologize for the incoherency, if anyone understands and can help, let
me know by e-mail!)

	Thanks!!!
