I'm running Hform v2.48 under RO3.7... to try and reduce my filecore to make room for an ARM Linux partition... I've come across 2 questions that Hform asks which AFAICT are not mentioned in either the RO manuals or the ARM Linux docs... First is: Drive parameter init flag? 1 ...which it wants to default to 1. I have no idea what this is or whether this is a reasonable default. Second is: Parking cylinder? 6231 ...which is confusing because I thought all hard drives auto parked anyway. The two examples I've seen set this to be the penultimate cylinder of a fully formatted filecore drive. If I'm reducing the number of cylinders of the filecore partition to, say, 1900... should I set the parking cylinder to 1899 (the middle of the disk!) or is it a physical cylinder figure which will still make sense (if left at 6231) even if I reduce the logical total number to 1900. (The hard drive in question is a Quantum Fireball-TM3200A 3Gb. Current shape: 6232 Cyl, 16 Hds, 63 Scts/trk) Any advice, much appretiated.
