It seems to work ok ie it mounts and is df'able and I can even read list root directory using ls. However, if I try to read, write or even ls a sub-directory of root I get the following message. panic: allocbuf: buffer larger than MAXBUFSZ requested The BSD partitions of the same disk work ok so I am at a loss. Has anyone have the same problem or any ideas how to fix it. The originally contained Windows95 but has been reformated and installed with loaded with DOS6.20. Below is the disklabel in case it helps throw some light on the problem. # /dev/rwd0d: type: ST506 disk: mywd label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 4032 cylinders: 527 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 5 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 4032 2116800 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 525 - 525) b: 4032 2120832 swap # (Cyl. 526 - 526) c: 8064 2116800 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 525 - 526) d: 2124864 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 526) e: 2116737 63 MSDOS # (Cyl. 0*- 524*)
