Ok, I've gotten the Pinnacle Micro Sierra 1.3GB MO drive to work using
the below disktab:
# Pinnacle Micro Sierra optical disk drive
# ECMA 512 byte/sector media
# Disktab generated by Jessica Hayden from SunOS /etc/format.dat entry
# and NextAnswers document 1533
PINNACLEOHD-1200|Pinnacle Sierra 1.2GB OHD|OHD-1200:\
:ty=removable_rw_scsi:nc#5359:nt#7:ns#31:ss#512:rm#3600:\
:fp#320:bp#256:ng#0:gs#0:ga#0:ao#0:\
:os=sdmach:z0#64:z1#192:ro=a:\
:pa#0:sa#1162903:ba#8192:fa#1024:ca#32:da#4096:ra#1:oa-space:\
ia:ta=4.3BSD:aa:
I initialized it with the following commands:
disk -t "OHD-1200" -i /dev/rsd1a
newfs -n -v /dev/rsd1a
I then ejected the disk and reinserted it. NS mounted it and reads
and writes to/from it just fine. It gives me nearly 600MB of space.
My next question would be what is the best way of making a bootable
copy of my internal MO disk to the Pinnacle MO? If I issue the
following command:
dd if=/dev/rod0a of=/dev/rsd1a
I get a read error on rod0a and dd aborts.
If I issue the command:
dd if=/dev/od0a of=/dev/sd1a
dd copies data from the internal MO to the external MO but doesn't
copy the data in the subdirectories. Any suggestions? Would dump be
better for this?
Thanks
Jeff
