Max HD size?
Is there any? I plan a last big pimp-up to my 2-bay MBWE to really big space. By use of the various projects described here, I managed installations from scratch to fresh HDs quite some time ago, I dimly remember, I could not use 100% of the size. I think it was a limit of the volume manager. I am not bound to use md, but otoh this is the “natural” setup I would not like to disturb. I am not absolutely bound to mirroring, as I do proper use of saving important data, so I am not even sure I want it to be symmetric. I could go with a 1-4 TB "system" disk and an 8 GB additional data or something. In that case I would configure the system as single-drive and add sdb manually with ext3 or whatever.
Do you have experience concerning
- limits of md
- max size of supported disks in general
- Workarounds in case there are limits
any shared knowledge or ideas welc0me!
