Hi there. As I understand it you're the linux IDE guy, so if you don't mind answering a question for me, I'd appriciate it.
I recently bought a Maxtor 4G160J8. This hard drive is Maxtor's biggest harddrive as of yet, coming in at 160GB. Linux sees this drive as a mere 134 or so gigs as shown by the below:
hde: Maxtor 4G160J8, ATA DISK drive hde: 268435455 sectors (137439 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=266305/16/63, UDMA(33) hde: hde1
Do I need to pass the kernel any arguments though grub to see the full size, or is this just a kernel level limitation?
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks, -Aaron
