tlug: jhon little..100mb hard drive..in ss2..help



sorry for my first steps into the  "obscure "hardware  journey into a
SS2...but  ....

Jhon little:

I follow your instructions to  install the 100 mb on a ss2. hopefully
sucessful

at the ok prompt
probe-scsi
boot -rv
show the quantum 100 mb  drives .
now at the command prompt: as a root
drvconfig disks
format
disk
select the  quantum100 mb
verify
shows  the following
(at this moment i was trying to change the partiton table for the drive
but seems like there is one problem with the partiton id,s ..?)

part   tag    flag    cyl   size   blocks
0      root   wm    0    0
1    swap   wu

2   backup  wu    0 - 973
.
.
.
6 usr  wm  0-973
" i think i  have two  partitions with the same id???  usr and backup  i
just want to make a single partition.....""""
also to change the flags for the partition ..what  is
wu           ? only for swap and backup partitions? only read permissions?

wm            ?for usr/,,write/read permissions?

can i  delete the backup  partition  tag and the other tags too..? how can
i do this???????

then  i use  at the  root prompt.."this finally works"
#mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s6   /disk2                     " i create a folder
/disk2  to mount the quantum100 mb"

then when i try to write something to  /disk2
the console shows
NOTICE  /disk2: out of inodes
or in  openwindows  shows  no free space.

can help..?

to use  the partition command within format..... i guess i am  givin the
wrong options.....which should be the order of the partition creation..???

and  delete the partiton table/and tags and recreate new ones..?????
pls advice.

sorry for  bombing with questions....
