Subject: Can't make fs on SCSI drive, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 1 Oct 1993 11:04 CDT

Hi Neters

        I got a problem when I was trying to make fs. I wish somebodies
could help me out.

        After I booted the Linux with A1.3, and created the partition for
the Linux, I could not make the file system onto my scsi drive(dev/sda/sda1).
What should I do?? The command I used was " mke2fs -c /dev/sda2 103424".

        The returned messages:
Dumping sense buffer : 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0SCSI disk error : host 0 id 0 lun
0 return code =27070000
scsi disk I/O error
dev 0802, sector 0
        :

First data block=1 (1)
Block size = 1024
13 blocks groups
8192 blocks per group
8192 fragments per group
1992 inodes per group
mke2fs: bad blocks before data-area: cannot make fs

        The scsi device I am using is :

        Adaptec 1540 / Adaptec Bios 3.01
        Storage Dimension SCSI drive w/ Cylinder : 310
                                        Heads : 64
                                        Sector/track : 32
                                        Byte : 325,058,560

        When I boot the a1.3, it told me that is a 1542 instead of 1540.

Thanks for your concern.

Long
