Subject: mount DKA100 on OSF1 V4.0 1530 alpha

Hello, am new to V4.0 but strong on linux.

I'm using the Personal Alpha emulator to run OSF1 V4.0 1530 alpha, I was able to install the OS with no problem, but I can't get the DKA100 disk to mount. which /dev is the one that has the DKA100?

Or what do I need to do to mount DKA100?

I don't mind reading, if I can be pointed to the right directions

Thank you

Hi,

DKA100 will translate to /dev/rz1 within the OS. You can see the disks installed with:

# scu show edt

In order to mount the disk, you'll (probably) have to create the special device files:

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV rz1

label the disk, and then create a file system on it - I'm assuming that there's not already any data on it.

Something like this should suffice:

# disklabel -wr rz1
# mkfdmn /dev/rz1c disk1
# mkfset disk1 set1
# mount disk#set1 /mnt_point

The various man pages for those commands should help if anything doesn't make sense...

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

This is just what I needed, I got it working now, I don't have those commands to create the filesystem by I used newfs, and it's working, well it's working on a 1.5GB emulator drive, but not on a 8GB one, but I'll figure it out.

Thank you

BTW, I see it now, scu show edt, will show me the target which is used after the rz

eg. target 3 = /dev/rz3

and the c for mounting comes from disklabel -p rz3

thank you again
