Original-posting-by: peter@stca77.stc.oz (Peter Jeremy) Original-subject: Formatting CDC Wren drives Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) Does anyone know how to format a CDC Wren IV or Wren V drive under SunOS with other than 512 byte sectors? From my reading of the Wren IV manual, you gain ~10% space by using 1K sectors (and possible still more with 2K, 4K or 8K sectors). I can't find anything in any of the Sun manuals describing this, but believe it should be possible. Can anyone provide suitable format.dat entries for the Wren V using 512 byte sectors (and if possible, for both the Wren IV and Wren V with other sector sizes). -- Peter Jeremy (VK2PJ) peter@stca77.stc.oz.AU Alcatel STC Australia ...!uunet!stca77.stc.oz!peter 240 Wyndham St peter%stca77.stc.oz@uunet.UU.NET ALEXANDRIA NSW 2015
