Problems with XP150, A/UX & dp Help!

[David Williams]

Hello A/UX dp gurus. I'm stuck...I can't get dp to write changes out to my
dataframe xp150 to configure the partitions for A/UX.

My configuration:

Stock Mac IIx with color
80meg internal apple drive
xp150 @ SCSI 4

SASH for A/UX 1.1 installed and running SASH from xp150.

sash# dp /dev/rdsk/c4d0s31
"/dev/rdsk/c4d0s31" 8 partitions, 8 allocated 304604 blocks

I can successfully update the partitioning info via dp. BUT when I attempt
to write the changes with the w command, dp aborts with the following error:

Command? w
Disk c4d0s31 Error: Illegal request, code = 0x20
generic disk c4d0s31 Error: Logical block 1, physical block 1
dp: write of dpme's failed
/dev/rdsk/c4d0s31: I/O error
Exiting due to error(s)

I don't know why I gt asked about Cluster's (or what else to put in) when
updating the BZB field.

I also wonder about this:

>ABM Field? i
>Warning: output file is not whole disk
>Initialize map anyways?  n

If I type a y here I get a message similar to the one when I attempt a w.

Should I be running SASH from a floppy? Should the SASH partition on the  150
be unmounted with the rest of the other partitions?

Thanks in advance
