Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers SCO OpenServer 5 Will Not Boot Post 303025983 by gull04 on Friday 16th of November 2018 04:42:09 AM

Hi,

This looks to me like a head crash on the system partition, there are a couple of things that you could try - but I don't hold out much hope I'm afraid.

You could boot the system from a bootable floppy and use "divvy" to have a look at the disk and reassign the cylinder - might work.

My next option would be to replace the disk and rebuild.

Or you could virtualise the whole thing on something a bit more modern - under VMware perhaps?

Regards

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [-N nr-of-inodes] [-V volume-name] [-F fsname] device [size-in-blocks] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used. OPTIONS
-N Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. -V volume-label Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used. -F fsname Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used. -v Be verbose. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong. SEE ALSO
mkfs(8). AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. Util-linux 2.9x 12 Sept 1999 MKFS.BFS(8)
