A few months ago a thread appeared on problems with big disk on XENIX. As I recall, the thread started with someone having problems getting XENIX to recognize the entire disk. Well, I just ordered a big disk, figuring it will be useful when I "upgrade" to UNIX. Anyone recall the problem and the solution, if any? -- David Schachter llustig!david@mips.com ...!uunet!mips!llustig!david david@llustig.UUCP (MAYBE) +1 415 328 7425 Palo Alto, California, USA -- -- David Schachter llustig!david@mips.com ...!uunet!mips!llustig!david david@llustig.UUCP (MAYBE)

We have 1.2 gig on the box I'm writing from.
