Hello! I have a problem with PDC202xx controller and WDC WD1800JB hard drives. The PDC202xx shows only 130GB for this disks, while they should be 180GB. Since I have no physical access to the system (I'm administering it remotly), I've instructed the local sysadmin to update the controller BIOS to the lates revision which is supposed to support 42 bit LBA. That had no effect, fdisk still shows only 130GB available: Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hde: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 266305 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 1 266305 134217719+ 83 Linux Right now I have 2.4.18 kernel with (I think) no extra IDE or Promise related patches. Is the PDC202xx driver in 2.4.18 too old to recognize more than 130GB??? Would kernel upgrade help? Thanks, D. -- ___________________________________________________________________ | Danilo Godec | Agenda d.o.o. | ISP for business | | jr. Syst.
