50 Only a small number of possible
53 but others can easily be added by adding tables to the driver.
54 It is a typical block-device driver; see
59 should be used to create the
61 special files; consult
63 if a special file needs to be made manually.
65 The driver interrogates the controller
66 to determine the type of drive attached.
67 The driver recognizes the following drives:
68 7912, 7914, 7933, 7936, 7937, 7945,
72 7962, 7963, 9122, 9134, 7912, 7936,
74 not all of which have been tested.
75 Special file names begin with
79 for the block and character files respectively.
80 The second component of the name, a drive unit number in the range
81 of zero to seven, is represented by a
83 in the disk layouts below.
84 The last component of the name is the file system partition and is
85 designated by a letter from
89 which also corresponds to a minor device number sets: zero to seven,
90 eight to 15, 16 to 23 and so forth for drive zero, drive two and drive
94 The location and size (in sectors) of the
95 partitions for these drives:

267 The eight partitions as given support four basic, non-overlapping layouts,
268 though not all partitions exist on all drive types.
270 In the first layout there are three partitions and a ``bootblock'' area.
271 The bootblock area is at the beginning of the disk and holds
272 the standalone disk boot program.
275 partition is for the root file system,
277 is a paging/swapping area, and
279 is for everything else.
281 The second layout is the same idea,
282 but has a larger paging/swapping partition
285 a smaller ``everything else'' partition
287 This layout is better for environments which run many large processes.
289 The third layout is a variation of the second,
292 partition into two partitions,
297 The final layout is intended for a large, single file system second disk.
298 It is also used when writing out the boot program since it is the only
299 partition mapping the bootblock area.

310 An unrecoverable data error occurred during transfer of the
311 specified block on the specified disk.
314 The current disk partitioning is totally bogus.
316 drives have 256 byte sectors which are mapped to 512 byte
317 ``sectors'' by the driver.
320 drives have an odd number of sectors per cylinder,
321 the disk geometry used is not always accurate.
323 The partition tables for the file systems should be read off of each pack,
324 as they are never quite what any single installation would prefer,
325 and this would make packs more portable.
327 A program to analyze the logged error information (even in its
328 present reduced form) is needed.
