I am running Mandrake 8.1 here and am looking to create a very large array. I have Promise UltraTrak 100 TX8 external arrays which format each out to approx 670GB as one large volume. Initially I wanted to add just this one to a volume group but couldn't. Said something to the regards of physical volume is too large. It spewed something that looked like 256GB is the largest PV that it can handle?!? Anyway, the real goal is to have three of these arrays (670*3) each array will be one physical volume. The three together would be added to create an approx 2TB array. Is this possible? Feasible? Or do I have to carve each tower into multiple parts which I don't really want to do. Steve
