Yesterday I had a call from a colleague who was installing SLES 10 to a server with 1.9TB partition. She was a bit freaked out because this is a relatively new thing for her to do and after the first phase of Installer, "it is hanging on the splash screen for a very long time doing nothing!" I knew she had a very large partition and so I told her to hit ESC to see what is going on in the background, as I had my suspicions. Sure enough, it had that message "Drive hasn't been checked in 47829 days" (or whatever the specific line is.) I told her to just be patient and let it run its course because she's on a large partition. I've already been seeing this on my machines that have 750GB drives. She had actually tried this on two other similar servers that they had just bought and was starting to think it was some kind of driver issue with that particular model. Obviously, that wasn't the case. In this day and age of larger drives everywhere from the data center to the home user, wouldn't it be a good idea if we had some kind of message between 1st phase and 2nd phase where it says something like "Depending on the size of your hard drive, this may take a while." before going into the second phase of installation? Or maybe this has already been discussed and shot down, in which case, I'll shut up.
