The curious thing is, that the handmade edited labelling seems to work without error, using the 4110000 numbers? Maybe there is something fundamentally wrong with this section? bob Malte Lance wrote: > > >> > c2490a|Compaq C2490A SCSI:\ > >> > :dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#51:ns#16:nc#5036:sf:\ > > As far as i know you don't need/want "sf" with SCSI-disks. > -- Support Whirled Peas.
