Hello, After reading up on the issue, It has beensuggested to use this formating for a 2T drive, regardless of manufacturer:
fdisk -c -S 56 -u /dev/sda OK, so why not use this: fdisk -c -S 64 -u /dev/sda Yes, I trying to prepared my disks (2) 2T seagates for a Raid 1 array Ok so once I do that, I going with just boot, root and swap on this first system. I've read to use type 'fb' in fdisk,(OK) but do I still mark both boot partitions as bootable? What is the best page to follow to test the LVM2 and mdadm stuff, before attempting to use the Raid 1 dual disk setup for the gentoo workstation install? James
