Greetings;
I intend to use this disk with amanda as a FILE repository to replace
a failed tape changer. Are there any gotcha's I should be aware of.
Running a 2.6.9-rc1-mm2 kernel ATM. Ext3 filesystems only.

Cheers, Gene

25GB disks have been supported for a very long time. =)

I assume from the smiley that this is some kind of in-joke, since it's
not obviously related to the question in the subject... Could you share
it? Is this the joke about "three disks walk into a bar, a PATA, a SATA,
and a SCSI..." or what?
I assumed the OP had a legitimate question.

25GB == 200Gb. 'B' is for "byte", 'b' is for "bit".

Oh, making fun of his spelling error. I guess being a mailing list
normal netiquette doesn't apply.

Humm, I've heard of think-o's so this must be a see-o. I wrote 200Gb,
not 20Gb :-)

200Gb is 25GB. 'b' is for bits, 'B' is for bytes.

Oh I have broad shoulders Bill :), so no offense, I'm too broad all
over really, but I've managed to get from around 200 in Jan to about
175 now since the doc says "you've got sugar". On a 5'7" frame,
thats still too much by 15 pounds.
