- What are typical block numbers in the CANNOT READ BLCK ## messages you
- receive?
-
- The two times I saw this message, I had accidentally attached two HP-IB disk
- drives with the same bus number to the same bus. This is guaranteed to cause
- havoc; irretrievable, unrecoverable, havoc. In those cases, the block
- numbers I saw were huge, far beyond possible valid block numbers.
-
- I hope you didn't do what I did; if so, there's really no hope aside from
- pulling the blocks off one at a time and attempting to reconstruct things
- from individual untrashed blocks.
