I'm trying to bring up a new server with 4 Maxtor 40GB disks, and am having some problems. I belive they have to do with geometry, but I'm not real sure. The motherboard is an Asus P3B-F. When I first tried to install, the install program complained about the geometry, so I entered the geometry information as it is stated on the disk. On the first disk, I created a 1.5GB partition for /, 100MB for swap, and the rest in one big partition. The other disks were all individual large partitions. Went through the install, and I checked the status of the newfs by checking out the VC on F2, and I would see it fail right around 8000000 (which I presume is close to the end). The install program would then say it couldn't mount the partition. This happened for all of the large partitions, but / was ok and 3.3 was installed fine. Upon bootup, I get BAD SUPER BLOCK and MAGIC NUMBER WRONG for the large filesystems. I'm unsure how to proceed. Any suggestions?
