Regarding this huge new drive: >Seagate have just released a 23.4 Gbyte HD, and we are looking at them to >supplement our multiple 9GB HD's we currently use for our FTP server. > >Will freebsd allow a file system this large ??? Another related question, and perhaps what the poster meant to ask: Will such a huge drive be fully usable (i.e. all 23G) within the "IBM- compatible" world of SCSI controllers? Aren't PC-compatible SCSI controllers limited to 8G of disk space (on a single disk), due to the (stupid) limitations on maximum heads/cylinders/sectors imposed by PC history?... :-( Gary
