I have a new HP97548SA (660MB) hard disk now attached to my
NeXTstation turbo running NeXTstep 2.2. When I newfs/init it
with the 'disk' utility, it uses only 1327 cylinders of the
1457 cylinders the drive reports back for the /etc/mkfs. This
results (obviously) in alot less of the disk being newfs'd
than I would like (608MB (575MB after newfs) vs. 648MB). Now, I
guess the question is somewhat broader as well, for instance I notice
that 'disk'
will only init an 'a' partition, what is 'b'? I can't get to
it although /etc/disktab seems to indicate I should (in the
comments).
A disktab entry for this disk that would work for a NeXT would
be nice as well, I only want to be able to use the entire disk
in one partition.
