On some hdd's there is an option on the jumper settings next to master and slave. That for some reason, limits the size of the hdd. I don't know why this option exists, but it does. Also, you never get 70GB out of a 70GB hdd. Once again, i don't know why. It's just the way it is.

How can i check if it has bad sectors? A friend suggested me low-level format but I never done that before under unix. Also, do i need to be in single-user (I dont have physical access, only remote root via ssh). Thank you. _______________________________________________ freebsd-isp@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-isp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-isp-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
