1 Hello,

3 After reading up on the issue, It has beensuggested to use
4 this formating for a 2T drive, regardless of manufacturer:
5
6 fdisk -c -S 56 -u /dev/sda
7
8 OK, so why not use this:
9 fdisk -c -S 64 -u /dev/sda
10
11
12 Yes, I trying to prepared my disks (2) 2T
13 seagates for a Raid 1 array
14
15
16 Ok so once I do that, I going with just boot, root
17 and swap on this first system.
18
19 I've read to use type 'fb' in fdisk,(OK)
20 but do I still mark both boot partitions
21 as bootable?
22
23 What is the best page to follow to test the
24 LVM2 and mdadm stuff, before attempting to
25 use the Raid 1 dual disk setup for the
26 gentoo workstation install?
