Hi Ginnie, I concur with Sundar. I have just couple of comments - please see in line.
Thank you very much for testing this ! Jan Virginia Wray wrote: > > Hi - > > I've attached a text file with the results of tests I ran on the sparc > microroot.

The -s output "# of > blocks" is identical to the format output, while the -d is differs a bit. This is correct. # of blocks reported for '-d' case refers to total number of blocks on the disk. Since there are some sectors reserved (2 cylinders) and size of slices is rounded to cylinders, size of slice 2 occupies slightly less space. You could check with 'iostat -En' for total number of disk sectors. This number should equal to the one reported for '-d'. > The size in MB reported for both -s and -d differe slightly from each > other and from the format output. > > The DVDd (both internal and external) are not picked up by the test_td > command. Should they be? There was media in the external drive. This is expected behavior. For now, TD filters out floppy as well as all DVD/CD drives, since they are not considered to be valid targets for installation at time of being. > > The output for the USB in this set of tests is consistent for both the > rmformat output and the test_td command. > > Let me know if there is further testing with test_td that needs to be > done. > > I'm now looking at test_ti.

That behavior is fine - simulation doesn't invoke real commands, so it is no-op in most of the cases and is expected not to fail. > I've been working with Geoffrey (sys admin).
