Re: [cobalt-developers] using large drives

[Harald Kapper <hk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi
simple: no issues :-) - at least for us. we have a "smaller" raq2
running with 2x 30 GB EIDE (ibm) inside (though everybody told us it wouldn't work,
we have it perfectly in the mood and not a single failure since nearly a year).

we also have raq4's with 40+ GB harddisks inside, so I don't see any point
why it wouldn't work for you.

btw. anyone aware whether the raq4 onboard eide supports ATA66 or ATA100?
(given one uses the right cabling, just curious)

ps. going beyond 30 gig's with std_raq2 (kernel 2.0.34 limitation) is not possible,
but if anyone is into kernel upgrading it should also work with bigger disks o'coz.
