OK, I have a space solution. Nebka is identical to snefru and I just installed a 143 gig disk on snefru - mounted as /newdisk I will ship a disk to Christian if he replies with a US Mail address. Physically, you must simply pull out one of the empty disk trays in nebka, and replace it with the disk I ship to you. I powered the machine down to do that and since you have to boot it anyway to get to the raid controller, you really have to power down. Using thumb and forefinger, push the protusion on the disk and it will open up. Very simple. BOOT. at boot CTRL-A to enter the configuration Sometime you may get a message to ACCEPT current configuration - ACCEPT At main menu, DISK UTILITIES, select #0 and find the two FUJITSU - escape select #1 to find the IBM disk to be sure the contoller sees it. Escape back to main menu Select Container Configuration INTIALIZE DRIVE Select channel 1 press insert to select press enter to continue press enter to initialize Create container right arrow to select channel 1 the one drive IBM 136.7GB is highlighted press insert to select press enter to continue press enter and type a label - no spaces or special characters - i used newdisk (and wasted a few hours having typed new disk r.t. newdisk) press enter until done message creating container check the container is there - DO NOT INITIALIZE the disk after creating the container press escape to exit controller configuration
after boot, you can check the the disk is there with fdisk -l should show /dev/sdb and that it does not have a partition I use cfdisk to create the partition mkfs /dev/sdb1 and you have space, now figure out where you want to mount it
and that is it. Christian, let me know a USPS mail address - and I will ship the disk, all 143 gig of it.
I am sure you will all join me to thank Bob for this. Nebka has been cronically short of space. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel mostly offline 2007-11-01 to 20007-11-18 skype: thomaskrichel
