hi! i use debian sarge with 2.6.8-2-686-smp and like to use an raid device (sda) with 3 TB.
i have read in the internet and found that there is an kernel feature called LBD. it is activated but with cfdisk: cfdisk /dev/sda FATAL ERROR: Cannot get disk size with fdisk: fdisk /dev/sda You must set cylinders. You can do this from the extra functions menu. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) fdisk in expert mode i can max. set cylinders to 1048576 and this are only 2TB .... in syslog i can see following output: kernel: sda : very big device. try to use READ CAPACITY(16). kernel: SCSI device sda: 6445080576 512-byte hdwr sectors (3299881 MB) kernel: SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back, no read (daft) kernel: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p thx 4 any hint or tip thanks, christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
