I am curious though if there It's good isn't it ? I just did another test, replacing both drives wuth smaller ones, and you can't then recursively add an even smaller one in :-) If you were wondering why I tried that, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an off-by-one error somewhere letting it happen. I guess it encodes a 'minimum size' for the drives. > have been any numbers regarding how much do "actual" drive sizes vary > in the real world when it comes to disks of same > manufacturer/model/size. I guess this probably varies from In my expereince all the ones from the same manufacturer and model are exactly the same size. Admittedly I only ever buy SCSI, but that shouldnt make too much difference should it ? -pete.
