I recently both a big disk (whopping 3Gb)
that i'd like to mount as a fileserver volume.

but now for the second time, if the comp comes to a halt
(some went wrong ?? reboot) i loose the second disk's formating(?)
and info..
is this behaviour commen or am i misunderstanding some??

this is what i do to mount:
so in /etc/disktab i made a description:

ibm3200|IBM Deskstar-3 3.24GB IDE:\
        :dt=ST506:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#16:ns#63:nc#6296: \
        :pa#6346368:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#4096:fa#512:

disklabel -w -r wd1 ibm3200

newfs /dev/wd1a

and in /etc/fstab:
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd1a /pub ffs rw 0 2

as last i activate netatalk to serve macs as well.
(btw using version 1.2G with some irq changes on a 486DX)

please mail any guidence to noud@knot.nl
thanx much,
