hi all,
I wanted to turn a machine into a nfs server, zo i bought some 3TB disks. However, i was told that there seems to be a machical boundry at 2TB, which is alleged to be solved by grub2.
As SuSE isn't capable of doing that directly from YaST (at least in 12.1) i decided to put it on hold.
But here: http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/D213A024C090CE9F862577D5...
They write that specially patched verions on grub-legacy can do the trick also.
So question is, does anybody knows if grub included on 12.1 has that particular patch?
Kind regards, hans
Boot from a usb thumb drive instead of from the disk. You can use a disk that large as a filesystem just fine as long as you aren't trying to boot from it. They have stubby little usb drives now that don't stick out further than all the cable plugs and aren't a special risk of breaking off from cables pulling, elbows, chair legs etc. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
