The IO requirements are low, so I would like to take advantage of the particularily CHEAP price of large IDE's ;-) I am just trying to solicit people's experiences running FreeBSD 3.x with large drives. I am planning on running three drives in the server machine which will be running FreeBSD 3.3: Maxtor 20G IDE X 2 Maxtor 13G IDE The system in question would be using a Gigabyte BX 2000 motherboard. Thanks for any and all information! Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
