I need a big partition, and have a 14TB raid5 (with hot spares) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I get this problem: |
| 4 |
[root@dbay ~]# fdisk /dev/sdc |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 437698. |
| 7 |
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, |
| 8 |
and could in certain setups cause problems with: |
| 9 |
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) |
| 10 |
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs |
| 11 |
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) |
