In fact, you can point Hercules at a whole disk (either IDE or SCSI, does not matter). Furthermore, if said whole disk is partitioned and happens to have no more than three partitions the Linux running on said Hercules instance will recognize the partition table and act properly, even though it is FBA (from the Linux perspective) instead of SAN or SCSI. But then, most IDE and SCSI disk these days is well over 2G so the "issues" Dave mentions could come up. :-( -- R;
