I want to use my DOS disk partition from within VP/ix. I can mount the
partition, get directory listings and copy from the partition, but an
attempt to write to the partition gives me some variation on the "Hard
disk full" message I get from MS Word. I have adjusted the kernel
NDOSINODES parameter as per the instructions in the monthly FAQ postings,
but that didn't help. The DOS partition is a full 32MB and when mounted
under the UNIX filesystem df shows:
/dos_c (/dev/dsk/0p1): 8932 blocks 65535 i-nodes
total: 65457 blocks 4294967295 i-nodes
The only numbers in the df listing that make sense to me are the block counts.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter. For what it is worth, I am
running ISC386/ix 2.0.2, VP/ix 1.1.1.
