I have my 20 Mb ST225 partitioned in the following manner; Partition 1 PC-DOS 3.30 000-304 Roughly 10 Mb 2 Minix Boot 306-316 374 Blocks 3 Minix /usr FS 317-568 8568 Blocks 4 Minix Root FS 569-611 1462 Blocks The problem is that I can't build an 8.5 Mb file system on /dev/hd2 partition 3). The largest file system that Minix (1.3) will allow is 1895 blocks. If I make anything larger than that, the used i-nodes are -1 and it gives me an error, put_block can not write. Is this due to a size limitation of /dev/hd2 in the distribution? I went looking for the prototype files in tools.a.Z, but there are none, just the source for build, init, and fsck. Do I just simply have to rebuild /dev/hd2 to allow for 8568 blocks on /dev/hd2 or is this a bug? I have run diskcheck and all Minix partitions pass with no errors at all. The other two Minix partitions (/dev/hd1 and /dev/hd3) work just fine with no problems. JCA UUCP: {nosc ucsd hplabs!hp-sdd}!crash!pnet01!jca ARPA: crash!pnet01!jca@nosc.mil INET: jca@pnet01.cts.com
