I realize this isn't implemented yet, and that there is a patch out there that's supposed to fix this isssue, but I'm curious to find out if there is any progress in building support for GPT in Grub. We currently have about 50 servers in our collocation with 4.4TB diskspace. I managed to create a LVM partition of 4.3TB and a boot and root partition using Parted, but since the disk label is set to GPT, I can't install Grub on the device. If anyone has any tips on how to get Grub on these devices, that would be very much appreciated, especially since we have another batch of these type of servers coming up soon... Thanks. -- Jeffrey Lensen System Administrator Hyves hyves page: http://skyler.hyves.nl mail/msn: jeffrey@hyves.nl
