We use the block-device /dev/raw1 for our applications.
Last week we installed a FUJITSU M2266SA / 1 Gbyte SCSI-drive on an
Adaptec AHA 1542-B SCSI-Controller. Since then the raw-device was
intermittent overwritten three times !
We are quite sure, that none of our applications did this.
It seems this happens, when our X-Applications cause the system to swap.
After the last overwrite during "init 0" the kernel did a memory dump.

We would be glad, if someone could help solving this problem !
Thanks in advance

RE: *NIX-DOS Marriage...
 
I think everybody's happy when a good PC can open up some windows
to a UNIX box.  Full power of UNIX plus a good personal OS.  This also
makes a good split for privacy.  I get scared when DOS and UNIX try
to co-exist.  There's too much potential for lockup, etc.  The love
dance gets too close to the metal!

Throw in Windows and TCP/IP and you've got a winner!

What kind of throughput are you getting?  You should be able

Help!  I'm running AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2.3
16-user version.  /dev/tty00 on COM1 seems to be created
automagically, but I don't know how to create /dev/tty01
and /dev/tty02.  It seems like I should be editing
/etc/conf/sdevice.d/asy and rebuilding the kernel, but I
don't know what to put in and I can't find anything in
the System Administrator's Guide to guide me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  By the way, using
an internal modem for /dev/tty02 (COM3) shouldn't require
any special attention should it (he naively asked)?

	I realize it's been a while since this subject has been brought up,
but I've found out an easy way to increase the number of inodes available
for a partition. As I write this, I've just finished un-tar-ing my /news
partition, so I don't know yet if this really is going to work for the long
term, or if something is going to crash.
	mkfs takes an option that will echo back all the command line options
used to create a file system. "mkfs -F ufs -m /dev/dsk/c0t0d0sc" echoed back
a whole line of #'s. Using these, but reducing the cgsize value by a ratio
of 4:1 (I know, this is a LOT of inodes for a 200 meg partition, but what the
heck), brought the # of inodes up to 93,000 or so. I re-mkfs-ed the partition
using these values, and everything is fine.
	One problem, I changed the optimization from 't'ime to 's'pace. Soon
after I started the un-tar, I got the following message on the console:

	NOTICE: /news: optimization changed from SPACE to TIME

	Oh well... I was hoping to keep it optimizing for SPACE. Would this
change back?
	I'll also see if "rn" and C-news actually works with this.

	BTW, this is under Consensys SVR4. Someone else had said that changing
cgsize didn't make a difference, he still couldn't get more than 64K inodes.
mkfs actually asked me if I REALLY WANTED MORE THAN 64K INODES! This is so that
pre SVR4 applications would still run (don't know if C-news relies on 16 bit
inodes or not, but I'll find out the hard way).

Of course it does.  Once you have SLIP operating, it behaves like a normal
network connection, completely transparent to normal work (other than speed, of
course).  Unless you have some *really* fast modem, or, you are running SLIP 
over a straight serial line, I wouldn't even bother running xterms over SLIP,
or any other X program for that matter.  It's just way too slow, unfortunately.
however, I usually open xterms on my own machine, and just telnet out, or 
rlogin, and it works adequately (except for programming...i would never 
program over SLIP, takes way too much patience for me)

For reading mail, news, etc, works just groovy, though.

Are there any versions of NFS for DOS/Windoz that cost under $100 per DOS
NODE? I would dearly love to find one, but haven't Perhaps I've been looking
in the wrong places?

What about DOS nodes participating as SERVERS? [it's not really peer-peer if
that option isn't available]. Yes, I know that DOS-based client/servers aren't
particularly efficient or stable, but I want the OPTION.

I am testing SVR4.2 right now and it has all of the features of 4.0.4.
It has a new version of C and a graphic Debugger to run from the desktop.
It supports CD filesystems, Token Ring, X11R5,.....

BTW What features are important for you people to buy 4.2? 
(in short what should Esix do to get you to buy?)
We are talking about adding a Colorado memory tape driver and maybe shipping
it on DC20?? type tapes as a option. 

Let me know what you net users what, while we can still add it!

i started with the u386mon src and the same object as yourself.
i work for microport, a src licencee and used ps to reference. 
from svr3 to 4 the proc structure moved out of memory to the /proc directory.
how did you handle the /proc subdir access?

do you also have access to src? i for one would like to have access
to your src. svr4 doesnt have much more than sar for users.

Just a quiet, technical post from a concerned administrator asking for
some help from the net. 

Tell me M. Hebert, why are you using the DPT controller? It's no better
than the BusTek or Adaptec controllers; the cache won't help you; the
removable media works with the Adaptec and BusTek.

Yes.  With patches to xconsole if XFree86 (formerly X386 1.2E), it now
functions correctly for capturing kernel messages.  It does this by
reading /dev/osm (for which I have no documentation :-<).  /dev/osm
records all kernel/driver messages (try 'cat /dev/osm' - the init
file /etc/rc2.d/S95osm does this for you at boot time).

This captures all the important stuff (driver errors, disk full, etc).  I
never did figure out how to actually capture /dev/console, so user-level
programs that write to /dev/console are NOT captured by xconsole.

BTW - this fix was sent to MIT at least six months ago, and has yet to
appear in any fix.

  Hi! I am struggling trying to get  a 3rd comm port working with isc
2.2.1. I have a 2 comm port card working ok, but the prolem comes when I
tryt to get a 8 port card working! I can get the first 2 ports of the card
working ok, but any more, and it dosent want to know. The documentation is
not very clear at all.
  The card is calleda  Mandax 8 port serial card. It has 8 ports, and is
selectable as 2 interupts, 1 int for the first 4 ports, and 1 for the
second 4 ports.  I desperatly need to get at least 1 more comm port
working!
 Can anyone point me in the rihgt direction, if only to some docs
somewhere!
  Thanks in adavnce, Mike
