fatal error

[Guest_imported]

I have a doubt with an error message, and i want to be sure if this is a normal situation or not.

Situation: I was formating and installing a SCSI 36Gb HD with UNIX SCO 5.05, the problem happens when is making the division and filesystem on disk 1, and the message error is "Exit value 139 Status Value -29952"
"Fatal error in diskinfo.c line 3525"
"Function DIAdJust Division: Cannot adjust division to fit in the usable space: Disk0"

[IGNORE] [RETURN TO IQM]


My questions are: What is the recomended size of the divisions that i have to make?, The problem is the size of the HardDisk? or Maybe this HardDisk is not supported by UNIX SCO 5.05

example: this are the divisions that i made
DISK 1
boot -- 50 mb
swap -- 1Gb
root -- 1Gb
/u -- 22Gb
/u2 -- 10Gb

DISK 2
/a -- 20Gb
/a2 -- 14Gb

The error mesage appears in both disks

Any comment about this problem it´s gonna be very useful for us,
thanks.

I have an 18G drive divided like this, but that's only about half the size you are trying to set up:

+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
| Name | Type | New FS | # | First Block | Last Block |
+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
| boot | EAFS | no | 0 | 0| 15359|
| swap | NON FS | no | 1 | 15360| 801791|
| root | HTFS | no | 2 | 801792| 9349119|
| u | HTFS | no | 3 | 9349120| 17896398|
| | NOT USED | no | 4 | -| -|
| | NOT USED | no | 5 | -| -|
| recover | NON FS | no | 6 | 17896399| 17896408|
| hd0a | WHOLE DISK | no | 7 | 0| 17904410|
+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
17896410 1K blocks for divisions, 8001 1K blocks reserved for the system


According to the docs, the maximum HTFS size is 1 terabyte, so you shouldn't be running into a size limit with only 36G drives. My guess is that your divisions are somehow exceeding the size available on the drive.

Can you please post what the divvy division table you are trying to set up looks like?

What happens if you don't customize the divisions but let the system choose the sizes?
