Ultrix 4.1 does not handle disks above ~1.2gb. From the Ultrix FAQ (which hasn't been posted recently): ============================================== 19. Why doesn't ULTRIX 4.1 work with disks bigger than 1.2GBytes? There is a bug in the V4.1 SCSI driver that will only allow it to read something like (2 ** 21) or (2 ** 20) LBNs. After that it wraps around to the beginning of the disk. It is fixed in V4.2. ============================================== Mike Iglesias Internet: iglesias@draco.acs.uci.edu University of California, Irvine BITNET: iglesias@uci Office of Academic Computing uucp: ...!ucbvax!ucivax!iglesias Distributed Computing Support phone: (714) 856-6926
