Linux > 2.4.0 supports 2 terabyte partitions on x86 (32 bit) arch. Linux does not depend on the bios for anything except booting. So if ur bios is limited to 2gb or 8gb or 40 gb depending on the vintage (and my memory) u will have to create the boot partition within this limit or boot from floppy / cdrom. All other partitions may reside anywhere within 2 terabytes.
That's great. Thanks for the information.
Grep the archives. there was a discussion on file, disk and partition sizes on this list a few yrs back, particularly if u r using kernel 2.2x.
Will do .. thanks.
One more question. Is there a ratio of RAM size needed for the size of disk partition? I remember that there was one like that for novell netware server....
