- I'm using the files:
-
- root-rpc-1997.08.06
- supplemental-1997.08.06
- rpc-2.0.30-1997.07.20
-
- I tried using partition 3, sized at 954 Mb instead of 4 and
- it still didn't work, but mke2fs did appear to go further.
-
- It stops on a different place each time. The last 3 times
- it has stopped on inodes 84/120, 38/120 and 73/120.
-
- Using the previous setup on partition 4 it was stopping
- around the 30 mark. But the last time I tried before
- changing the partitions it stopped at 13.
-
- The last 2 messages on console 4 (I think?), the last time I
- tried, were:
-
- <4> adding swap ...
- <4> couldn't get a free page
-
- Is this relevant?
