There has been a change made in the way MSCP devices are identified by the uda driver. In ULTRIX 1.2 partition tables were easily added to the driver by inserting the appropriate data into "struct size" in /sys/data/uda_data.c and then inserting the last two digits of the MSCP device identifier into the structure radfpt[]. For example for the RD54 drive the line in radfpt looked like: 54, rd54_sizes, /* RD54 disk drive */ I added a line for an Iomega Bernoulli drive on an Emulex SCSI controller 10, im10_sizes, /* IM10 disk drive */ This worked great for 1.2. In version 2.0 the radfpt[] structure has been changed to include further info for identification of the device. 0x25644036, rd54_sizes, ... I have figured out the last 5 hex digits from comparing the drives listed. 44= ascii "D" for the rD drive 036 = 54 since it is a "54" drive What are the first 3 digits, 256. They are different for a number of the drives listed in the table. A number of choices for my IM10 drive fail to allow the driver to identify the drive. HELP!! Douglas C.
