The RA80 User Guide says the disk has >236,964 blocks. Judging from the hard errors I'm getting, I'd say the >driver and /etc/disktab are wrong. We use 237212 sectors for the c partition on our RA80 and we have had no problems reading the end of the disk. I got this number by reading the end of the c partition using dd and examining the diagnostic output. I think the c partition is supposed to include the bad sector forwarding info and maybe the RA80 manual doesn't inlcude this when it lists the disk size. -- {decvax, seismo}!mcnc!duke!evs Ed Simpson, P.O.Box 3140, Duke Univ.
