I recently was creating a floppy to back up some files. I followed the
procedure that is in the /etc/disktab file.
I type...
newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -i 65536 /dev/rfd0 fd1440
I get...
/dev/rfd0: 2880 sectors in 80 cylinders of 2 tracks, 18 sectors
1.4MB in 5 cyl groups (16 c/g, 0.28MB/g, 32 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 632, 1184, 1784, 2336,
Cool. Up until now everything makes sense.
Now I type...
newfs -N /dev/rfd0
I get...
Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to
5.
Warning: 1216 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rfd0: 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,
This is not the filesystem that I just created! Or is it?
Why the heck does my filesystem on this floppy not reflect the
configuration that I gave it?
Thanks,
Jason Wells
