I installed a 500Gig drive on an older Fedora installation a while ago and it wouldn't see the whole drive until I increased the block size, I'm hoping I don't have to do that on this server. Is a 1TB drive basically plug and play on 32 bit Centos 5. Also, how would you fdisk and format it? Would you do anything special filesystem-wise? I'm pretty new to >300 Gig drives. Thanks so much, ck </blockquote> Shouldn't be anything special necessary. I routinely do 1TB and 2TB partitions on RAID arrays with CentOS and RHEL. Your 1TB drive should be plug 'n' chug. Now, as to how to partition it, well, that depends on how you're going to use this drive on this system. Can you give us any details on that so we can best advise you? --TP <div class="moz-signature"> _______________________________ Do you <a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a>? <a href="http://www.cmosnetworks.com">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> </body> </html>
