Someone already replied and said yes; the answer is yes. :) But as a note of caution: One of the worst mistakes we've ever made was choosing to use a Micropolis 9gb hard drive in two of our servers. Micropolis built in a feature to both of the drives we purchased: They crash like you wouldn't believe. Go with smaller drives (we've found drives in the 2gb-4gb range to be perfect) and either split your files up over them, or use the ccd to stripe them together. -Dave Andersen Lo and behold, Tony Clark once said: > > > If i purchase a 9gig disk, will this be supported under freebsd 2.1.0 ? > > > > I am looking for something like a micropolis or seagate. - i already have a > the scsi card and a 4gig disk running but i just need to know if you OS will > support above certain disk sizes unlike SunOS 4.1.2 (about 2.5 gig) > > -- > > Little Tony........ > > [4mSystems Administrator[0m ([1mPA[0m Data Design) > -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
