Hi,
I am trying to format some 3.5 HD disks for use with the FreeBSD 2.1

I tried the following procedure:



# fdformat -f1440 /dev/fd0.1440

(works fine but sometimes it reports some errors like:

fd0: input ready timeout

NOTE that under X11 it works without any error)



# disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0.1440 floppy3

(works ok too..)



# newfs /dev/fd0.1440

(reports these errors)

 

Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 5.

Warning: 1216 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated

/dev/rfd0.1440: 2880 sectors in 1 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors

        1.4MB in 1 cyl groups (5 c/g, 10.00MB/g, 4448 i/g)

super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

 32,





So , the 3,5" HD disk has only 851968 bytes free....

Any ideas ?



Thanx in advance



Chris
