: I have a medium large drive at 320M, but I've had nothing but problems
: trying to get it set up and operating properly. The problems I've had
: seem to stem from the file system generating incorrect SCSI addresses
: and trashing it's own files after it gets to a certain percentage
: full. I suspect the MountList, since the documentation on it is
: minimal. Could you ease my suffering and send me a copy of one of your
: MountList's? It would be very much appreciated.
Well... I don't really use MountLists. :-) The Supra software has
a special 'Supramount' that mounts all drives/partitions for me. I do
have a utility that can generate a MountList entry though. I just haven't
verified that it really works. Here's the MountList entry it generated
for my Maxtor XT-3280S setup as one big partition...

We'll just have to give it a try... :-)
Guess what? It didn't work! :-)
