Some information: -- formatted scsi disk (adaptec scsi controller, hp 402 MB disk) under DOS (probably 5.0? 6.0?) to be entire disk -- used disksetup to map the DOS partition to /dev/sd0d so that I could mount it -- mounted the partition using "mount -t msdos /dev/sd0d /mnt" -- the benchmarks are written in C, use standard system calls such asa read, write, creat, etc., and I changed the names so that they would fit into the 8/3 filenaming convention. The problem: -- it keeps crashing with a "getblk: stray size" error. Anyone know how I can fix this problem / make it go away? Is there a patch or anything like that? Thanks! --Diane dtang@eecs.harvard.edu
