According to Alok K. Dhir: > I have a Seagate 9 gig disk to use as the news spool, and I'm wondering > what the best way to use it will be (the / and /usr partitions are on a > separate 2 gig disk). If you're serious about that news business, ditch the 9 GB drive and get four 4 GB drives or 2 4 GB. They will perform better than one single drive. > I remember in the past (way back in the 1.1.5.1 - 2.0 days) there was some > trouble with partitions larger than 2 gigs. Is this still the case? If Not, it disappeared after the switch to 4.4BSD. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #32: Thu Dec 19 20:47:10 CET 1996
