Quite possible as far as Alpha is concerned. You are correct about the 2G, on a lot of Alpha models it is less than that (IIRC..) > Third, is this a machine ram size problem or a disk volume size problem? > The original post was about a 131G FC volume and calculating the wrong > number of sectors and the wrong sector size... Given time (....) I could test up to 2TB volumes using FC / isp(4) at work. But not on amd64 as we do not currently have such a machine :) W/ -- Wilko Bulte [EMAIL PROTECTED]
