Thanks to all who helped with the linuxconf/sendmail.cf issue last week.
This weeks hurdle involves a 36GB Seagate Cheetah SCSI drive.
I have the drive installed on the system, and would very much like to
just create a 36GB partition on it. However, I'm reading the "Large
Disk HOWTO", and see all kinds of things about kernel 2.3 being the only
kernel that supports disks above 34.8GB.
I'm confused a little, because all items mentioned have to do with IDE
drives and IDE calls. Does the same thing apply for SCSI drives?
I don't want to boot off this thing. Just create a large filesystem for
data. Is there anyone out there with experience with this??? I also
want to exercise the drive a bit once the filesystem is created. Are
there tools to do that? I want to do a verify or something before I go
throwing 18+GB of data at it.
A little guidance would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Paul C.
