18 ASUS P/I-P65UP8 User’s Manual
For example, if there is a removable media drive at the first host adapter set to SCSI
ID 2, and you need to reserve three partitions, the command line should look like
this: DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /UNITS=0:2:0:3
When SYMDISK.SYS initializes, it will default to either:
a. One drive letter for a removable media device with no media present.
b. The number of partitions found on the media in the removable media device.
NOTE: The full path, id, lun, and num_units values are required for this op-
tion. Also, there is a limit of 24 devices.
Using the /EXCLUDE= Option
This option allows a user to exclude a ‘path:id:lun’ combination from being scanned
or controlled by SYMDISK.SYS. The path parameter is mandatory with all ids and
luns for that path excluded by default if just the path is specified. To use this option,
the line in CONFIG.SYS that loads SYMDISK.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /EXCLUDE=path[:id[:lun]]
[,path[:id[:lun]]]*
As an example, for path 0, id 2, and lun 0 the command line should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /EXCLUDE=0:2:0
NOTE: There is a limit of 24 ‘path:id:lun’ combinations allowed.
Using the /SSIZE= Option
SYMDISK.SYS will default to the largest sector size found during boot, handling
all different sector sizes found. In the case of removable media, SYMDISK.SYS
will assume a 512 byte sector size when no media is present. This option overcomes
this limitation. To use this option, the line in CONFIG.SYS that loads SYMDISK.SYS
should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /SSIZE=512|1024|2048|4096
For example, if a removable media drive is used that has a sector size of 2048 bytes,
the command line should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /SSIZE=2048
NOTE: If SYMDISK.SYS comes across a sector size larger than the one speci-
fied in this option, or if it finds a sector larger than the default, it will refuse to
read/write to that media. It will report an invalid media error to DOS.
