Where > is their feedback on this discussion? My feedback is mainly that I don't have 20GB of diskspace, and (probably) won't have for quite some time. I'll be glad to do testing when I have. However, it is more likely that I can put together a truckload of IDE disks as a RAID-0 than a 20GB DPT array; I have exactly two wide SCSI-II disks (the ones I got with the DPT from Simon, to be able to do local 'make release' instead of occupying his machine). However, as long as the issue is only the size of the partitions, I think there are better ways of solving this - e.g, a compressing variant of the vn device. This would let regression testing run on any box, instead of having to throw away 20GB of diskspace. (There were also some hints about more issues in one of Tom's messages). Eivind.
