Sefranek) Organization: My Very Own Castle, Portsmouth RI Lines: 30 I too have some questions about /usr/adm/unix.log I have noticed some strange behavior with this file on my machine. I have a 3b1 with 67M disk, 2M RAM running 3.51 (the 3.51a fix is in, but it didn't make a difference). Assuming a healthy unix.log file with lots of FDERR entries from the last time I formatted floppies -- if I start a new formatting session (ten or more disks) then check the unix.log file when done, all the previous entries are gone and only new FDERR entries (dated within minutes of finishing) exist in the file!!! My question is: Has anybody else noticed this??? Does anyone know what in the world is causing this ? Please email and I will summarize to the net.
