Oy! I use to phase out disks after they develop even 1-5 errors (i.e. use them only for cache etc. until they're too small anyway)
I am considering replacing the hdd with a Seagate SATA3 4TB. Will suse kernel 2.6.38 recognize > 2TB.
Yes. You should use a GPT though[1]. Just use 'gdisk' instead of 'fdisk'. As long as you don't want to boot from that disk, you need not to worry. HTH, -dnh [1] you _must_ once the disk is 4 TiB though. You can massage the MBR for a 2 TiB-1Sector partition + a 2^32-x sector long partition, but I advise against that. Use GPT. Unless you boot from it or Winders is involved, it's absolutely no hassle. That comes with UEFI, Winders and the usual crap involved. -- "I guess some Ba'als are bigger than others." -- Vala, SG-1 10x04 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
