We used ns:85 nt:15 nc:1658 and made two partitions (a and g). We filled up about 60% of the 'a' first partition and it seemed o.k. Then we were restoring some files onto the second partition from tape. When this partition was about 2/3 full, we lost the '.' directory from our first (a) partition. We believe that something from the second partition wrote over that. We called Fujitsu and Clayton (the vendor) and they suggested that nc be reduced to 1644. We remade the file systems, and we had the exact same problem. If anyone can tell what the problem seems to be based on the symptoms and on their experience with this disk, we would really appreciate it. If any one has used this disk, please let us know the correct parameters to use, etc. Thanks. -- sudhakar (for KBESRL, U. of Iillinois at U-C)
