OK. Finished a selftest. So far, so good. Now, why didn't someone |
| 25 |
remind me that I had to use some special tool to partition this |
| 26 |
monster? It took some doing but I'm not sure I am doing this the right |
| 27 |
way. It works for testing tho. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I used something called Gparted to partition this monster. This is |
| 30 |
temporary tho. What should I be using to partition this thing? What is |
| 31 |
the best, and easiest, tool for me to use? I have been using cfdisk in |
| 32 |
the past but it doesn't seem to work on this one. I do want one very |
| 33 |
large partition and plan to use LVM on it too. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Oh, it would be nice if the tool is on LiveCDs, SystemRescue in my |
| 36 |
case. I use that when the stuff hits the fan and I am covered up pretty |
| 37 |
deep. ;-) |

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? |
