Well, they did use partitions, but what do you do when the new RAID control= ler bites off a whopping 100 million bytes from the end of your disk? I use partitions too, and do leave some space at the end for cases like this, but what I leave is just 8 MB (enough for the Gigabyte motherboards HPA), not 100+. Would you suggest setting aside 500MB, 1GB just in case? --=20 With respect, Roman --Sig_/3Z9uPsdwM/V0SlPco4IsBKe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk3OPv0ACgkQTLKSvz+PZwhryQCgk0qn01a14CdHxcPdd8LjOP9q 1ZQAoI45mlGosVc0ETOOxWVgwidzOdyu =A2L+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/3Z9uPsdwM/V0SlPco4IsBKe--
