Re: Files-11 Home block not found

Hi,

I strongly suggest the use of the DISKBLOCK utility. It allows you to easily examine the various Files-11 ODS data structures and can format them, including verification of the various checksums, which you don't want to do manually from a hex dump of the blocks.

$ MOUNT/FOR/NOWRITE disk:
$ MC DISKBLOCK
DISKBLOCK> SELECT disk:
DISKBLOCK> READ 1 ! Primary Home Block
DISKBLOCK> DUMP/HOME
...

DISKBLOCK HELP also provides examples, documentation of various Files-11 ODS data structures etc.

Volker.
