From: Andy Smith <ai_smith%AM%REOA@mr.rit.reuters.com> Subject: FreeBSD 2.1 and Syquest EZ135 To: questions%freebsd.org@mr.rit.reuters.com Message-id: <1853360923041996/A04067/REOA2/11A4BA643400*@MHS> Autoforwarded: false MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Importance: normal Sensitivity: Company-Confidential Can you please help with the following. I have a SyQuest EZ135 135Mb IDE drive on a pentium PC. Even though the system is configured correctly for this drive, with the right number of C,H,S for 135Mb, FreeBSD reports it as a 270Mb drive and doubles the number of cylinders. When configuring the system, I manually changed the drive characteristics, but it still insisted that it was a 270Mb drive. I formatted the initial cartridge to 130Mb for /mnt and 140Mb for a swap partition, and then do not mount the swap partition. This works but is not a solution. How can I format new cartridges to 130Mb. Do you have any ideas of newfs/format commands that I might try?? Thanks Andy
