Good day all,

Are there any hidden problems with loading a 60 gig drive into a RaQ4?

I duped a 10 gig RaQ4 drive to a 60 gig tonight (Powerquest's drivecopy is 
magic) and it booted fine with correctly reported partition sizes but I 
seem to recall a ~30 gig limitation being mentioned for this old RedHat 
Kernel.

[admin admin]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             5.5G  586M  4.7G  11% /
/dev/hda3             1.1G   26M  1.0G   2% /var
/dev/hda4              46G  2.1G   42G   5% /home

(Yes, I know these are not optimal partition sizes but DC inflates them 
proportionately, "Partition Magic" can be used to resize them later.)

The machine has all current patches (except SHP :)

If there are no known problems with this, what then is the maximum hard 
drive size for a RaQ4?

Thanks!

============== message divider ==================
Hi, I have a RAQ4i (2 years now) 512 RAM, that originally was supposed to be a 60 GB HD machine. 
However, the company I contracted with didn't have it in house at the moment, so I started out with a 15 
GB drive. A few weeks later, the 60 GB HD was added to the mix. It has performed very well for us.Of 
course the HD with the system stuff on it is just the 15 GB, so don't know if this experience is relevant to 
your question.

Regards, Nell Bolen
