Hello:
I want to purchase two 60 gig IBM 60GXP ATA/100 hard
drives and a 3ware RAID controller. I will give 30
gigs to Windows and 90 gigs to Linux.
Is that going to be a problem? Will there be any
necessary partitioning or parameters
Should I hold out for Civilme to write the Maxtor
Controller Card install? The Maxtor card does UDMA
100, right? I understand that the 3ware only goes up
to UDMA 66. Will these burst rates make an important
difference if I plan to use RAID 0?

except take care that while partitioning ,
the /boot partitioning ,
the cylinder numbering should not exceed 1024..
ofcourse this partitioning logic is a bit old...
thats all...everything else will fit ..well..
may be present boot loaders will take care of
and not necessarily those of my Company.

3ware RAID controller works great with Mandrake. It is
detected configured automatically.
The RedHat userland utilities are fine also.
One thing you might consider though, is that if your
single, 90 GB partition gets corrupted, you lose
everything. If you split it into smaller (but still

That's LONG gone. Both grub and lilo (in 8.0) can handle large partitions.

No problem. I myself have a 160 GB partition, running fine. No special
setup at all (well, besides the fact that it is a software raid...)
