I am in the middle of installing AUX from floppies onto a FX with a 160 mb
apple drive. I used the standard AUX partitioning and loaded the floppies.
It came up, but a big chunk of my disk has vanished. From the books,
it seems as if there ought to be a large slice 3 partition that I could mount,
but it is hiding from me. I looked in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk and there is
no c0d0s3 to be found. I even did a wc on all the c0* devices and confirmed
the sizes of the slice 0 root , the slice 1 swap and the slice 30 MacPartition
and the slice 31 whold disk.
I then re-inited the disk, repartitioned and reloaded all those floppies
in the hopes that I missed something. No luck.
Where is it?

I don't have my manuals handy (and I'm not running A/UX at the moment), so please double check this before placing complete faith in my memory. But try this: mknod /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 b 29 3 chmod go-r /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 chown bin /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 chgrp bin /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 mknod /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 c 29 3 chmod go-r /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 chown bin /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 chgrp bin /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 Then proceed as directed in the Peripherals manual (newfs, mount, etc). Can anybody from Apple explain WHY these devices are not present? I had the same problem when I installed from CD-ROM to an external disk at SCSI 5 (except that /dev/dsk/c5d0s3 was missing and /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 was present). Herb Weiner (herbw@midas.WR.TEK.COM)

It's a bug (in the pname program, to be precise). In short, when the autorecovery partitions are filled, the installation uses pname to attach the partitions temporarily; pname uses slice 3. It is then too dumb to realize these slices BELONG on the disk, and deletes the device nodes when it's through. Thus, only the slice 3 devices for Your particular SCSI number disappear.

I believe that what you can first do is use the pname program to generate and get the correct /dev/dsk driver for a particular disk partition. You'll first need to get the name of the partition you're trying to set-up from Apple HD set-up. You can then do a pname -c5 "partition name" and pname will return the driver that it has assigned to that partition. You can then use that driver to set-up your filesystem etc. Peter Espen pke@btr.com

That partition exists so that people with larger 80 meg disks can take advantage of the extra space. You will need to use dp to extend the partition size a lot if you want to use it for the whole of the rest of your 160 Meg disk. Larger 80 Meg disks? Apple decided on a minimum acceptable size of an "80 Megabyte disk" and will use any disk that provides at least that much space, buying from different suppliers at different times. The older HD80SC external disks don't have as many physical sectors as the newer Quantum internal 80 meg drives, for example. -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)

Pname is the reason the device node is missing in the first place :-) If you use HDSC Setup (or if SilverLining does its job right), the slice 3 partition will be the right size to accomodate the rest of your disk when you set things up. There is no need to use dp to extend it. That is, there will be a partition (slightly > 80MB) on a 160MB disk, all ready to use. If you have an (older) HD80, you'll see a 1K slice 3 partition. The reason for this is because we couldn't say "grow from 0 to n". Vicki Brown A/UX Development Group Apple Computer, Inc. Internet: vlb@apple.com MS 58A, 10440 Bubb Rd.
