It seems to be related to the heads-multiplier (to reduce cylinder count for silly DOS-WINDOWS). When head count is 64, it has not exhibited such errors, as I have it running on my laptop without problems. >How-To-Repeat: Mount a 128-head dos partition >Fix: ? :-) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended State-Changed-By: phk State-Changed-When: Mon May 25 01:06:41 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: Awaiting committer State-Changed-From-To: suspended->closed State-Changed-By: rnordier State-Changed-When: Wed Oct 28 15:35:44 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: This is evidently another instance of the MAXBSIZE < FAT cluster size problem which was identified by bde and fixed by dyson in late 1996. >Unformatted:
