Disk geometry and /etc/disktab

[Jim Jagielski]

The characteristics of a disk drive's geometry needs to be included in A/UX
2.0 /etc/disktab file. There are two ways of getting this information: either
from SCSI Evaluator OR LaCie SilverLining.

My trouble is that both return DIFFERENT values for the number of cylinders
for all my hard disks. Which should I believe? For example, for my Quantum
80 (the newer 3 1/2 inch) SCSI Eval. returns 834 cylnders, whereas SL returns
837 (and 6 heads, 32 sectors/track)... (SL is 5.24/09 and SCSI Eval is
both 1.00 and 1.03)

 the very, very top, and then it tends to slope away rather sharply."
