New 200Gb disk

New 200Gb disk

[Gene Heskett]

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.

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.

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