I decided to make (3) 2050 MByte partitions and one with the balance. This is so we can make a full backup of each partition on a 8mm tape. I had to make some more devices so I changed line 526 in /dev/MAKEDEV and ran "/dev/MAKEDEV dks". | ra-iris16.root 119> l MA* | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 33637 Aug 30 10:55 MAKEDEV | -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 33629 Aug 30 10:51 MAKEDEV.save | ra-iris16.root 120> diff !$ | diff MA* | 526c526 | < for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do \ | --- | > for i in 0 1 6 7; do \ | | ra-iris16.root 105> ./!! | ./MAKEDEV dks | if test ! -d dsk; then rm -rf dsk; umask 2; mkdir dsk; fi | if test ! -d rdsk; then rm -rf rdsk; umask 2; mkdir rdsk; fi | cd dsk; rm -rf dks[0-3]d?s[0167] dks[0-3]d?vh dks[0-3]d?vol | cd rdsk; rm -rf dks[0-3]d?s[0167] dks[0-3]d?vh dks[0-3]d?vol The disk comes formatted.
