  • create the largest possible file system for the UZI180.

    using the mkfs utility, I want to create the largest possible file system for the UZI180.

    The command is next:
    mkfs device size fsize

    what values for isize and fsize are valid or optimal.

    Andrey Nikitin
    fsize 65400
    isize 1090

    The resulting FS size will be 32 Megs.

    Thank you.

    I am trying to install UZI180 on an IDE disk
    As an IDE disk I use a CompacFlash SanDisk 128.

    I have created several partitions using the fdisk program (as in the description)

    Partition Start End Size Bytes Bootable Type
    --------- ----- ----- ----- -------- -------- ------
    1 1 1999 1999 16375808 Y CP/M 3.0
    2 2000 3899 1900 15564800 Y UZI
    3 3900 3999 100 819200 UZI swap
    4 4000 5699 1700 13926400 UZI

    Next, using the mkfs utility, I want to create a file system, for which I run the following command:

    mkfs /dev/hda2 4802 30400

    after answering a question
    Making filesystem on device /dev/hda2 with isize 4802 fsize 30400. Confirm? y

    I get the following messages on the screen:

    Break at PC=036B

    .

    What says that the program does not work.

    I don't understand what is my mistake and how to fix it.

    I've got no clue, sorry.

    Which IDE interface are you using? What is the IDE base I/O address?

    The FDISK program uses basically the same UZI180 low-level routines to access the hard disk, but with one difference: FDISK uses OUT0 instructions while UZI180 uses OUT. Thus if your IDE interface is decoding the A8..A15 lines of the I/O address UZI180
    may refuse to work.

    Another reason for failure may be the CPU speed: a 33MHz P112 is on the edge for some disks and may require inserting additional wait states, running the CPU at 16 MHz should be OK.

    Hector.
