Hi,
I'm trying to format/newfs a (supposedly) Quantum ProDrive LPS 105Mb
SCSI drive under SunOS. It appears fine under probe-scsi from the bootrom
but when I try to format it, format doesn't seem to like the information and
demands all the geometry information. Does anyone:
a) know the geometry data
b) know where I can find the geometry (I've already tried
http://www.quantum.com)
TIA,
Benno.
here are the entires in my /etc/format.dat:
disk_type = "Quantum ProDrive 105S" \
: ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 1 \
: cache = 0x07 : trks_zone = 6 : atrks = 0 : asect = 1 \
: ncyl = 974 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1019 : nhead = 6 : nsect = 35 \
: rpm = 3662 : bpt = 16896
partition = "Quantum ProDrive 105S" \
: disk = "Quantum ProDrive 105S" : ctlr = SCSI \
: 0 = 0, 16170 : 1 = 77, 28140 : 2 = 0, 204540 : 6 = 211, 160230
