FIPS on a HD larger than 8 GB

FIPS on a HD larger than 8 GB

Post by Henrik Lidbj?r » Wed, 25 Nov 1998 04:00:00



Hello!

I have a harddrive of 8400 GB (with one FAT32 partition and nothing
else) that I want to repartition. I tried FIPS 2.0, and it wants me to
choose start-cylinder for the new partition. It looks something like
this:

Choose start-cylinder:

Old partition   Cylinder        New partition
10xx.x MB       147             6xxx.x MB

It won't let me choose a cylinder below 147, and 10xx.x MB is definitely
wrong. That's around 1 GB, and I have a partition of about 7.9 GB! I
don't understand 6 GB either, as it calles the new partition.
Would I be able to resize my 7.9 GB partition like this?

Thanks in advance

1. Files larger than 2 GB on Intel/Linux

Someone started a thread with this very appropriate subject. But I
did not see any relevant answers to the topic. So let me raise
it again. We are about the by a really big Alpha server with some 3GB
of RAM  and 40 or so GB of disk space. What are our chances of
being able to handle files larger than 2GB?

This will certainly be a requirement if Linux is to make inroads in
high end computing.
