I'd been following the link on the download page under 'partition manager'
which says 'the archive partman.arc [...] is ALPHA' rather than the alpha
release link on the main page. Anyway having complained I thought I'd
reinstall from scratch and try Baildon IDEFS out.
With the drive as previously setup (ADFS 480Mb, Linux 520Mb ish) connected
to the Baildon interface PartMan can't work out the format for itself;
told it's Filecore/Linux it produces:
Partition 1 Start 0 End -1 Size 97152MB Type Filecore
Partition - Start 0 End 2116799 Size 1034MB Free
So I guess that isn't going to work, empty my disk onto mag-opts, blank
disk completely with ADFS_DiscOp and reformat with Baildon IDEForm.
Exactly the same except that the end of the free space is now c. 1000000
as I formatted to a single IDEFS partition of 490Mb. Looking at the start
of the disk there appears to be the partition table present but PartMan
doesn't recognise it.
Clues anyone? (output from PartMan attached)
thanks
