| |
I recently purchased a 6g IDE drive, and attempted to install redhat 5 on it. I made a 16mb /boot partition (for the kernel, where redhat puts it) and made the / partition the remaining 6g or so. mke2fs would always blow up around the 4g mark, so I ended up having to break the partition into several <4g parts.
This problem doesnt seem to affect SCSI, where I am routinely able to mke2fs 11gb partitions.
Is this an e2fs limitation, ide limitation, kernel limitation, or what?
