Hi Guys (F/M),

Hope this  is the right  forum for these  kind of questions  (although I
personally think it could  be sent to the stable list  as well). Oh, and
please reply  to me  directly please  (perhaps with a  cc to  the list),
since I am not subscribed to this mailing list.

I think  that fdisk  can not  handle disks which  are larger  than about
66GB. I  currently have a system  with two MAXTOR 4K080H4  (80GB) drives
inside, but I  can only use about  3/4 of the size due  to this problem.
Since  I really  want to  start  making real  use  of this  system I  am
wondering if  there is  a workaround  or fix/patch for  this (and  NO, I
really want to make  use of the whole disk and  not just 60-something GB
out of it ;-).

A fast reply will really be appreciated!

aTdHvAaNnKcSe,
Unicorn.
