You should probably not reformat it as a single disk partition unless you are planning to use it for "large file" type file system for many large files. In order to give yourself some flexibility, you should create an LVM physical volume and then use LVM to partition the disk as you need to. This allows you to resize volumes if you need to. I take your word. > If you or your friends have any prior experience in using this > product in Linux OS, kindly let me know. I have been using an external USB Seagate 350GB external drive for backup. No problems so far. Regards, Kapil. -- Thanks for your informations, Regards, C.
