Is there anyway to get more than two MSD500 drives on a
DSP-90 and be able to use them all?

They are mounted as S(0), S1, S2, and S3 with one logical volume each.

I think it is even in the price list. I usually buy my disks from a third party though. There are four controller plugs on the controller and you can daisy chain the data cable down four disks. -- UUCP: {uunet, ihnp4!umn-cs}!hi-csc!giebelhaus ARPA: hi-csc!giebelhaus@umn-cs.arpa Nobody I know admits to sharing my opinions.

I am receiving my 3rd drive next week. You may be able to add more if you get another controller. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rob Gabbard | UUNET: uunet!sdrc!crgabb Workstation Systems Programmer | PHONE: (513)576-2600 Structural Dynamics Research Corporation | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Besides, you can not mount more than 4 drives anyway. The mounting table is full at four disk drives. > >-- >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >Rob Gabbard | UUNET: uunet!sdrc!crgabb >Workstation Systems Programmer | PHONE: (513)576-2600 >Structural Dynamics Research Corporation | >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= fred -- -Fred Jen UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4,hplabs}!decwrl!mips!jen USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 Arques, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, (408) 991-0306

You can put for sure 4 msd500 on the same controller. You can have up to 10 logical volumes per volume I think and you can mount up to 5 logical volumes at the same time. That's it. Achille Petrilli, Cray operations
