While setting up new a 327 Mbyte "SHOEBOX" SCSI Disk on a Sun3/60 with
12Mb of RAM under Sun 3.5 OS I ran into the following newfs error:

Warning : inode blocks/cyl groups (34) >= data blocks (32) in last
cylinder group. This implies 524 sectors cannot be allocated.  /dev/rsd0h
403200 sectors in 768 cylinders of 15 tracks, 35 sectors 206.4 Mb in 48
cyl groups (16 c/g, 4.30b/g 1920 i/g).

Then a list of superblock backups is given.

For the SCSI (Emulex) 327Mbyte  disk the partition sizes are as follows:
              A Micropolis 1558 drive.

      sd0: Emulex MD21 controller at addr 140000, unit # 0
      1218 cylinders 15 heads 35 sectors/track
      a: 16275 sectors (31 cyls)   (8.3MB)
         starting cylinder 0
      b: 93450 sectors (178 cyls)   (approx 48MB)
                 starting cylinder 31
      c: 639450 sectors (1218 cyls)
         starting cylinder 0
      g: 126000 sectors (240 cyls)  (64.5MB)
         starting cylinder 209
      h: 403725 sectors (769 cyls)  (206.4MB)
         starting cylinder 449

Does anyone know whats going on??? I have 3 more shoeboxes configured this
way and afraid of problems when the disk starts to max out.

Thanks.
Shaun
