I recently inquired whether there are any "gotchas" in mixing drivesof different geometries on a xy451, xy7053, or isp80 disk controller.The general consensus was that this usually works, but two potentialproblem areas were identified:1) If mixing drive types on a xy451, make sure the ...

My problem was that a particular set of FORTRAN programs on our system had system times vs user time ratios of as much as 20:1. The programs essentially dealt with relatively large arrays being filled with values using calculations which were quite CPU intensive. Interestingly, I received ...

Hey folks, I've had enough!!!!Thanks for your answers.It seems like a lot of people out there don't know whatSunOS 3.5 is so they suggested to solve this with "swapon"and editing fstab and so on. I'm not trying to solve a SunOS 4.x problem!One guy did know what I was talking about. ...

Its late on Friday here so I thought I had better summarize the messages Igot. Our situation is that the CD-ROM is still not working, Sun wants usto put the generic kernel back in and try that before they send some oneout to look at it to see if the CD-ROM drive is broken.Replies were received ...
