This is a followup to my earlier request for help installing a Micropolis 1528
SCSI drive on a DecStation 5000 running Ultrix 4.1. I think the problem
was that the disk partitions were too big. I finally reduced them to:
(extract from /etc/disktab)

down from about 1270000 for g & h, and the problem went away! In addition, we
were never sure if the problem was a real one with the "newfs" & "mkfs"
utilities, or whehter the problem was with "fsck" not knowing how to handle
such large file systems (& we still don't know but at least it works now).
