After a recent repair and reformatting of my hard drive (320M SCSI) I was doing a restore from my last set of backups when a funny thing happened. After reading an unobtrusive set of files the backup program (Quarterback) all of a sudden believed that the disk was full!! This was after about 30M had been restored to a 100M partition. When I open the window for the disk the E-F meter shows it to be about 1/3 full, the correct amount. Conjecture: The mountlist is altered from 15 heads (which it has) to 5 heads, with all of the appropriate sector renumbering. This 3:1 ratio which occurs in both cases (15:5 heads, 100:30 M restored) seems to indicate some sort of relationship between the two. Do any of you hard disk geniuses have a more detailed idea of what might be happening? -- Socrates --
