SCSI Tape Capacity - Kernel Modification
The Tandberg tape units on VX 1000 and Tower systems have exhibited a
limit on tape capacity of around 70MB under Xenix when the hardware is capable of writing
120MB. A new tape driver will be provided by support as soon as possible, however, a
work-around is available now for end users who are experiencing this problem. A script is
provided below which will install the fix on systems running SCO Xenix.
|
echo "Warning: This script will modify your
kernel" |
|
echo "The modified kernel will be installed as /xenix" |
|
echo "The previous kernel will be renamed /xenix.prior" |
|
echo |
|
cd / |
|
cp xenix xenix.patch |
|
adb -w xenix.patch<<ADB_EOF |
