[comp.os.minix] mkfs problem

ast@cs.vu.nl (Andy Tanenbaum) (04/11/90)

I have been told that mkfs won't make 1440 block file systems on 3.5 inch
disks.  Will somebody with such a device please try 1.5.5 or 1.5.6 quickly
and post what happened.

I've done it with 1.5.5 and had no problem with it.  (I don't have 1.5.6 up
yet).
