I have recently purchased a brand new Dell Dimension XPS vPii350 w/ 128mg of
ram and the largest harddisk I could -- we are currently running a FreeBSD
v2.2.x Server on an older 200 mhz MMX. with 4gig.
The new computer has come with a Maxtor DiamondMax 4320, which by convention
is breaking the 8.4 gig limits. The BIOS is recognizing the harddisk
correctly, and showing it to be of 17.2gig, but we cannot get the partition
manager to allow us more than 8gig partition. We have tryed manually
entering the drives geometry, but that is not doing the trick.
Do you know of any support documents, or know an answer to this problem. As
you might imagine, we are hoping to use all 17gig of harddisk space. We
would like to cut the drive in 1/2, using 8gig for the /usr and split the
other 8 gig up between /var and /scr
If you know of a document that would help us in accomplishing this, we
appreciate it. And we are trying to use the holiday to configure this --
for whatever reason I did not think this was going to be a problem. And of
course we have larger problems of moving from one machine to the other to
face, so any help, direction, documents, etc. that you might be able to send
my way, I really appreciate it.
Thanks
George Fassett
