[comp.sys.apollo] salvol on 2nd drive does not run.

scott@labtam.oz (Scott Colwell) (02/20/90)

I have written a script to emulate the SysV mountall(1M) command
which scans /etc/fstab for filesystems to mount.

As part of this it constructs a salvol command to check the disk.
I am using the script on a DN3000 with two 150M drives on the
Omti controller and when my mountall script tries to salvage my
2nd drive, salvol barfs.
i.e.

salvol -n -c w0:1 1
 	2 arguments found after "-c" expected 1

if I omit the logical volume number
salvol -n -c w0:1
	bad character

Stand alone salvol (ex salvol from mnemonic debugger) works fine, and
/etc/salvol worked fine during testing but hasn't run since.

I vaguely remember something like this being mentioned some time back,
If anybody can shed any light on this I would much appreciate it.

I am running SR10.1.1.2  (Mentor Graphics patched version) and a System V.3
large installation.
