So, the current status is that though it may be possible to create a partition > 2 TB, several utilities may show "odd" behaviour (according to that page) ? Well, as I said, it's not currently a problem for me (yet). But what is one supposed to do ? Use Linux with 2.6-kernel as NFS-server, partition the disk into 2 TB- (or 1 TB) chunks and mount those indivually ? This should in no way be understood as a criticism, it's merely a question. cheers, Rainer -- =================================================== ~ Rainer Duffner - rainer@ultra-secure.de ~ ~ Freising - Munich - Germany ~ ~ Unix - Linux - BSD - OpenSource - Security ~ ~ http://www.ultra-secure.de/~rainer/pubkey.pgp ~ ===================================================
