the only limit is most likely that drives which require 48-bit addressing wouldn't be supported. that is usually..what 137GB?? these drives also require a newer controller in most cases. I remember reading about patches being available for 2.4.x but I haven't noticed whether or not those patches made it into the mainline kernel yet. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
