So, has anyone made a distributable version of this type of daemon and

appreciated.
Thanks.

I've had almost the exact same problems (sorry no fix yet). I have
noticed in the message file (/var/adm/messages) that ftape finally
chokes when it gets an error trying to write to the header. I think
this is occurring after successfully updating the header numerous
times since I have a flood of the same previous "error sector #/
reposition") messagesjust before it finally chokes. Anyone got
ideas on this?

Supposably there are going to be some Digiboard card drivers soon.
You might want to check with them also for multi-port cards to run

Subject: Anyone using multiport boards? Such as digiboard or BOCA?
Date: 6 Oct 1994 00:59:08 -0500
I would like to add a multiport i/o board (or two or three) and use
Linux with 16 or more dial-up modems. It seems that the digiboard
is not yet supported. Has anyone used the BOCA card? Or perhaps
the BUS6, or even the AST Four-Port cards?
If anyone has this working, how well does it all work when sixteen or
more people are all doing file transfers and I am compiling AND using
XWindows AND playing DOOM? Obviously, I am demonstrating a worst case
scenario, but I just want to be sure that my system works well under
stressful times.
Also, would 16 meg of ram be sufficient? Or will I need to go higher?
I will not be running shell accounts or applications. I will merely
be an ftp site with some dialup access for local slip users.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same problem, and the immediate cause turned out to be that
I was using the root diskette that is companion to the installation
diskette, rather than the installation diskette itself. (MCC distribution).
Perhaps you are not so lucky. Good luck.

I think this limit is at 527,966,208 bytes. This is based on a maximum
of 1023 cylinders (number of cylinders limited to a 10 bit field by BIOS),
63 sectors (number of sectors limited to a 6 bit field by BIOS), and 16
heads (although BIOS allows up to 255 in an 8-bit field, the field in the
disk command structure is 4 bits). You may see 527MB stated by those
who use 1,000,000 as the divider (it makes disks look bigger) or you may
see 503.5MB by exactness nuts (like me) who use 1,048,576 as the divider.
You may also see 512MB by those who miscalculated (unless there is some
secret to getting 1024 cylinders and 64 heads out of the BIOS that I am
not aware of).
In any event, if the ENTIRETY of your DOS partition is below this limit,
DOS will not need any special drivers. FDISK should be able to partition
it OK as long as it does not try to actually do I/O to the partitions.
Since BIOS is used to boot with, including booting from LILO, everything
needed during boot must also be below the above limit. If your kernel
image happens to get located below the limit in a full disk filesystem,
it will probably load OK. If you update your kernel it may be relocated
above and cause problems.
If you want the biggest possible filesystem, one solution would be to
make a small kernel image sized partition (leave enough room for future
enhancements) which can either be booted from LILO or marked as the boot
partition and booted directly. If you make it partition 1, do the fdisk
in sectors (with the "u" command) and start it at sector 2 instead of 0.
You will get warnings about cylinder boundary stuff... ignore them. Now
when you change kernels you only need to use "dd" or even "cat" to copy
the kernel image into that partition.
BTW, while you are repartitioning, if you do stuff with floppies a lot,
you may want to create a handy floppy sized partition (use sector mode
in fdisk for this, too). If I am creating a bunch of floppies for stuff,
it is faster to build the floppy image by mounting that partition as an
MS-DOS one, putting in the files as needed, unmounting, and saving the
image (as a file somewhere or direct to a floppy). I did this when I was
downloading the latest Slackware. It made things go a lot faster.

You forgot another good reason to go with SCSI. The PReP compliant
motherboards Motorola released today are supposed to have SCSI-II
controllers on them. I smell a port in the air.
I only have to pickup one tape drive to share between systems, and
I can always use Intel linux for putting trial bootstraps and filesystems
on harddisks.

SCSI <-> IDE -- The battle never ends.
In my experience, if all you want is a single machine, that isn't going
to be doing much more than run DOS for you, and some unix stuff for just
you, stick to IDE. IDE is fast and cheap, and works great in a single
user environment.
If you plan on running UNIX 24hr/7day, you should invest in SCSI. SCSI
eats up less cpu bandwidth, and is faster to the user. SCSI is more
"intelligent" then IDE in the sense that things can be offloaded to the
controller as opposed to the main cpu. In the case of DOS this is
pointless as DOS waits for everything to finish before letting you
continue anyways, but in unix, it allows more efficent multitasking.
So, if you plan on doing many multitasking things, then go with SCSI and a
good controller, 1542 (or clone) for example. But if you just want more
space to play with unix, and maybe do some stuff, stick with the cheaper
IDE.
Swapping on IDE is horrible on my machine. I have 32 megs of memory, so
I get lots of buffers, when update writes the buffers every 30 seconds, I
would get 2-3 seconds "freezes" while this was done, and the drive was
written to. I suspect that this happens less if you have 8-16 megs of
ram, or in my case, I switched to a scsi drive for swap, and things are
much better. (BTW, I had a dedicated swap controller/drive, and I still
had this problem.)

Hmm. One of the previous versions had an end-of track problem.
Essentially, it went looking for a sector that wasn't there and
forgot to reset the FDC when it failed. I sent Bas a fix then
(sometime back in jan/feb or thereabouts) but he replied that
the problem had been fixed in another way. Perhaps it's crept in
again? Forgot details, looking into it during the weekend.
If it goes on at multiples of 160 (?) sectors, this is likely
to be the cause.

Doubts. My USR-DS 16.8 Fax supports 57600, I don't think it makes any sense to

A HD "starts" as soon as you turn on the computer or the actaul HD (if it's
an external). There is no way to turn off the power unless you unplug the
HD.

HD are sometimes like cars, lemons do get into the market. But the majority
of HD won't see their death for 5+ years of continuous use. HD don't really
wear out, although the media may form defects. If the media can still
function, the motor will be the first to die. Motor lifecycles range from a
mean of 3.5 to 7 years.
The worst thing for a HD is the fluctuation in platter tempature and shock.
If your computer is always on and never violently shaken, it will live out
its lifespan.
