- Is the lie in the VAX Ultrix TMSCP driver as well ? I hang the Exabyte
- off of a SCSI controller that emulates a TMSCP/TK50.
-
- Are there similar problems when trying to use a 2.4Gb SCSI disk ?
- I just took delivery on several such devices. I thought the filesystem used
- -1L as the error for lseek and upper bound for filesystems. It should use
- unsigned longs and be good upto 4Gb.
- Bottom line: how can I use a 2.4Gb disk on Vax Ultrix using the MSCP
- driver ?
- Please email responses. Thanks.
