7819.234.0x partition toolUSPS::FPRUSSFrank Pruss, 202-232-7347Wed Apr 09 1997 22:0126
    Well, just started my first clean DIGITAL UNIX install on my DEC 3000
    M500 in two years, using 4.0b.
    
    I see you have been busy!
    
    So far trying to repartiion my disk has been the only place that I got
    held up.  I found I had to set all partitions to filesystem "unused",
    "commit", then "close".  Then start over, leaving filesystem "unused",
    set all the sizes I wanted, "commit" and "close".
    
    Then, if I revisited partiion disks, the tool shows only my A partion
    (right size).  Using the "Partition Table" button showed the other
    partitions as I had specified.
    
    Loading is in progress.  Except for this glitch, so far I'd say great
    stuff!
    
    I really hope that when this tool is used for a "fresh install" it can
    be changed to _never_ complain that it can't newfs a partition.
    
    I'd also like to see it automgically sdjust the "following" partition's
    start block when you enter a "too large" size for a partition.
    
    But, when I got past the hiccups, gotta love it!
