I am having a problem making a file system on my external hard drive. I followed the directions given in the Installation Guide, but when I get to the step that makes a file system, I get this error: Disk write c5d0s2 Error: More Data than SCSI device requested Logical block (block number), physical blocks (block number, block number). After three such messages for the same block, I get this: Generic Disk c5d0s2 retry limit exceed : Logical block (block number), physical blocks (block number, block number) I'm running A/UX 1.1 and trying to create the file system on a 50meg partition on a Micropolis 158meg drive formatted with Silverlining. Is the drive incompatible with the generic driver under A/UX? I have also tried with mkfs1b, but I still get errors although not as many. Thanks in advance, Craig Struble
