Hi, Thanks for your responses. But still I am not very clear regarding that. My question is: How big a msdos label(partition type) can handle? Is the upper limit 1TB or 2TB? For my other machines, it does like 2TB-1, but the fdisk with msdos label have a varying upper limit of total partitions' size when the disk/RAID is over 2TB, sometime it is 1.2TB, other times it is 1.5TB. It looks the upper limit is depending on the RAID type (RAID0, RAID10, RAID5, RAID50, RAID6), but this is only from experience, not theory. Any one can show where we can find an 'official' explanation regarding this problem? Thanks. --- Markku Kolkka <markkuk@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Robinson Tiemuqinke kirjoitti viestissään > (lähetysaika lauantai, > 10. maaliskuuta 2007): > > [root@giant ~]# parted /dev/sda > > GNU Parted 1.8.2 > > Using /dev/sda > > Welcome to GNU Parted!
