- Last week, I purchased a Maxstor XT 8760 S, as a replacement for a
- dead CDC Wren IV. It was to be installed on a Sun 386i/250, running
- SunOS 4.0.2.
-
- The 'format' command performed a surface analysis successfully, and
- reported the disk had no defective sectors. It formatted just fine.
-
- But when I tried to make a filesystem ... :-(
-
- {vulcan:5} newfs /dev/rsd0c
- preposterous size 0
-
- I have tried two different sets of formatting parameters, one from
- the Maxstor tech. support folks, and another from a Sun 4 format.dat
- file. Same bad news both times.
-
- Can someone tell me what gives ? I am at my wit's end !
