A quick question on this as I only notice this in the last few days by accident actually, and I want to know if that's real or not.
I always used to re-install, but only rename my partition, not redoing them. However I changed my auto-install as well and in the proceed forgot to NOT partition above 127Gb or to be exact 268,435,440 block of 512 bytes as in the pass the server ALWAYS crash if you try to go beyond and the V100 simply doesn't support >127Gb. I never had a problem with doing that, it's fine, but now I notice in 6.0 and may be earlier as well, just never tested it as it was a discover by mistake this time around that I sure can format now drives bigger then 127GB and no issue so far. I am not saying it is good or normal or support or will work for ever. I do not know, that's why my question is about. Is this due to the work done in disklabel and all a few years ago and is now somehow bypassing the BIOS or what ever it is on the V100 now that is it possible to use drive bigger then 127GB? Am I shooting myself in the foot if I try now as so far I haven't see any problems doing it, but it's been only a week so far. I would very much appreciate to know for sure as I still run >100 of them. Nothing critical on these servers, but extending them more would be nice as so many new one are put in place, not having to replace these too for lack of space is nice as I still have plenty of new IDE drives in boxes as I did purchase them in bulk years ago planing ahead for dead one, that still run great. Anyone knows for sure if >127GB is no problem to use at all now on these so loved servers? Thanks, Daniel
