Lines: 22 I repeat my request: A program could easily be written to compute the best or near-best MountList for a SCSI hard drive if it was told the number of total blocks and about how big each partition should be. The problem? It would require someone with a knowledge of math and a decent programmer. I'm a decent programmer (-: so here's my offer: Let's get together and write this much-needed program and declare it PD (and give it to C-A). I know my local dealer only does the simplest configurations because of this. I know they're not optimal and I think there is a big need for this kind of program. So, any math people want to work on this? Believe me, your end would be minimal. If I don't get any requests this time (ooooh, big threat!) I'm going to try to write it myself! -Tom -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University
