SUMMARY
=======
LOGSHOW is a utility that displays information about disk adapters, disk drives,
CD-ROM drives, and tape drives installed on the system. LOGSHOW resides in the
C:\OS2\SUPPORT directory.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The general format of an error log entry displayed by LOGSHOW is as follows:
devnam cccc mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss - meaning of code
additional information
The following are the standard error log entry displays:
devnam 000a mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss-Informational:Real ESDI inquiry data follows:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 GENERIC ESDI DISK TYPEnn
Where Is
------ --
devnam Normally DEVINQ, which is the temporary device name
used while the device is being configured
mm The disk type code specified during setup of the PC
devnam ffff mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss - Informational: configure physical disk AOK
Apparent Geometry: ggggg hhhhhhhhh iiiiii jjjj kkkk llll
Actual Geometry: ggggg hhhhhhhhh iiiiii jjjj kkkk mmmmm
Media BPB: ggggg nnn ppppp qqq rrrrr sssss tt uuuuu
vvvvv wwwww xxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
Recommnd BPB: ggggg nnn ppppp qqq rrrrr sssss tt uuuuu
vvvvv wwwww xxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
Where Is
----- --
devnam The name of the physical disk drive that has just
been configured
ggggg Sector size in bytes
hhhhhhhhh The number of sectors on the physical volume
iiiiii The number of cylinders in the physical volume
jjjj The number of data heads accessing the physical
volume
kkkk The number of sectors per track
llll Flags, in hex, that show how the geometry data was
generated:
0x8000 Apparent geometry was already set by the time that
the TSD first gained control.
0x4000 Actual geometry was already set by the time that
the TSD first gained control
0x2000 Actual geometry was set from the apparent geometry
by the TSD because the actual geometry was null
0x1000 Apparent geometry was set from the ROM data (INT 13
function 8) by the TSD
0x0800 Apparent geometry was set from the BPB in the
primary partition boot record by the TSD
0x0400 Media BPB was initialized by the TSD
0x0200 Recommended BPB was initialized by the TSD
0x0100 Recommended BPB was set from the BPB in the primary
partition boot record by the TSD
0x0080 Geometry set from ROM by BID
0x0040 Geometry set from internal disk characteristics
table by BID
0x0020 Geometry set using values determined through auto-
configuration by BID
0x0010 Geometry set using values from INT 41 or INT 46 by
BID
0x0008 Apparent and actual geometry set by BID
mmmmm The cylinder number from which write precompensation
is to be used
nnn The cluster size
ppppp The number of reserved sectors
qqq The number of FATs
rrrrr The number of directory entries
sssss The number of sectors in the partition, if less than
65,536 sectors
tt The media descriptor, in hex
uuuuu The number of sectors used by each FAT
vvvvv The number of sectors per track
wwwww The number of heads
xxxxxxxxx The number of hidden sectors
yyyyyyyyy The number of sectors in the partition, if more than
65,535 sectors
