- Has anyone successfully 'minited' a large partition? I'm close to give up.

- I have the following problem:
-
- TT030/6Meg/170MB Quantum LPS, partitioned 4x42
- and an SH204 on the ASCI bus, formatted into 2 10 meg Minited partitions.
-
- Whenever I start Mint or MultiTOS, and I access one of the 42 meg SCSI
- partitions for the first time, I get a message: `partition k skipped, unknown
- sector size'. When using MultiTOS, instead of a message on the console,
- one gets alert boxes and it's rather irritating to have to close four alert
- boxes when someone on the other side of the room accesses your hard disk.
-
- I think minix.xfs checks the partition first, and then whether it's a minix
- partition. But if it can't do anything with the partition, it shouldn't
- complain.
