[vdr] Maxtor 160 GB

["Ralf Spitzauer" <ralf@spitzauer.de>]

Hi List,

I get today a new Maxtor 160 GB Harddisk. I connect it to my ASUS CUBX-E
onboard promise Controller and try to make partions with YAST1 under Suse
7.3 kernel 2.4.10.
Yast gives different numbers of cylinders so I don´t know what to do. I set
the End-Cylinder to 19929 and format the partition with reiserFS. KdiskFree
shows me after mounting 153 GB Capacity.
But I´m not trust in this. Have everybody some experiences whith HDD´s over
128 GB?

Because this is out of topic you can mail me direct.
