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
