- Hello everybody !
- May be somebody can help me ?
-
- We have NOVELL local area networks on our factory. On 6 of 7 of
- our servers we have FUJITSU M2263E disks.
- Our installer first try to use HDD controller NCL 5355 with this
- disk. But it was not working. Then he replace NCL to ADAPTEC ACB-2322D.
- We have now file-servers : DFI TOP-286 (16Mhz, 4MB RAM on motherboard)
- with ACB-2322D and M2263E and NW 2.12 (NW 2.15). It is problems what we
- have:
- 1. During low-level format from on-controller BIOS we have strange messages
- "ERROR REPORTED (ERROR CODE=FF) REFORMATTING THE TRACK" every 16 cylinders
- if interleave is 1:1 or less then 16 if interleave is more then 1.
- 2. NOVELL's program COMPSURF died after one or two hours of sequential
- disk test with message "CONTROLLER CHANNEL 0, RESET ERROR".
- 3. If we use all available disk space as network drive, server crashed
- at least one time a day due to DIR or FAT errors on volumes SYS,VOL1,VOL2.
- We made drive splitting on ACB-controller (divide M2263E on two
- disks with 1023 and 631 cylinders respectively). Then formatting drive C
- with DOS. After software installation only on drive C it working properly
- long long time. But we have now network disks with 380 Mb only.
- If it is not so hard for you, please answer for my questions:
-
- 1. What kinds of controllers we must use with M2263E ?
- 2. What i must to do with disk that not working now in 286 machine.
- And what's happen with this disk.
-
- Sorry for my bad english. Thank you.
