Thanks. I don't plan on doing anything to the CCB. I just wanted to
look at the detailed partitioning and disk usage of the microdrive. I
have now done this. The reason that I needed this, is that if we are
ever forced to buy a new microdrive that has a different disk geometry
(very likely), then the current scheme of taking an image from one
microdrive, and duplicating it on another microdrive, will no longer
work. So in my installation/maintenance document, I am putting
together instructions for how to partition and create filesystems and
swap areas on new microdrives, and how to use filesystem dumps instead
of disk images for backup, and duplication of microdrives.
