Hello,
I need to have together : XFS on all file system and big IDE drive.
what I want to do is to add on the IDE bus 2 disks of 250 giga each.
the BIOS sees the correct size of the disk.
the PROBLEM is that, when booted,
I cannot see the whole size of the disk :
limit to the 137 gigas [ in fact 128 GIgas = 2^37 ].
Is there an option in the xconfig step [woody 2.4.18] that
I should set to enable ATA/133 [big IDE drive] ?
If not, what are the best suggestion :
- compile 2.4.20 kernel plus kernel-patch-xfs for 2.4.18 [seems odd %(]
- update debian including testing distro
- forget 250 giga disk for a while [ until sarge come out as stable ?]
- other suggestion...
______________________
what is fine so far :
I run a woody 2.4.18 , on Athlon 1800+.
I have xfs on all file system,
[ system is on SCSI, data are on RAID
device attached through fiber channel, up to 1.2 terabyte ], with
almost no problem ]
______________
a suggestion :
I was told to upgrade to 2.4.20 kernel, including the kerner-patch-xfs
for that kernel : this almost means to upgrade to testing,
including "libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1)" from the depends showed at
http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/kernel-patch-xfs.html
this is for me an akward step : the machine is a server not a test
machine...

thank you.
