Derek, In the server I currently have three 376595-001 drives (146 GB serial SCSI) and three 432146-001 drives (300 GB serial SCSI). These drives are configured as a single drive in a RAID 5 configuration. I did not specify any geometry during the installation. I have the hard drive configured as a single partition with the appropriate lables (/, /var, /usr, /tmp and a swap area). Thanks for your help.
