Date: 7 Jul 1993 03:28:00 GMT Organization: University of Michigan Engineering, Ann Arbor Lines: 15 Distribution: world Message-ID: <21dfs0INN9tr@srvr1.engin.umich.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: mlb.engin.umich.edu Hi! I just got a new Western Digital 210 MB drive to compliment my existing Quantum 120MB drive (both IDE). I am having big trouble trying to disklabel it, though. My goal is to have a 10 MB root partition and a 20MB swap partition on the Quantum drive, and devote the whole second drive to the user partition. Does anybody know how this should be done, i.e. what disklabel each drive needs, and how to install the label? THe geometry of the Quantum drive is: 901 cylinders, 5 heads, 53 sec/track. The geometry of the WD drive is: 989 cylinders, 12 heads, 35 sec/track. Thanks a lot! Scott
