Re: [newbie] BIGDRIVES (128G) and MDK 9.0
I don't belive that is true. I have mounted a 2 terabyte scsi disk with MDK 9.0 no problem. It was an external scsi self-contained hardware based RAID, but still only appeared as one logical drive to the system. ~~Brad On Thursday 30 January 2003 06:31 am, you wrote: At this point, hard drives larger than 137 GB are only supported (by default) in the 2.5.3 kernel and higher.

I was talking about IDE hard drives, not SCSI or RAID arrays -- sorry that I didn't make that clearer. Michael At 09:19 AM 1/30/2003 -0700, you wrote: I don't belive that is true.

[newbie] BIGDRIVES (128G) and MDK 9.0
Hi, what is the experience with BIG DRIVES, larger than 128GB? Are they handled correctly under 9.0 or need some tricks, new drivers, kernel, etc? Regards... Bela Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
