RE: [ActiveDir] NTFS ( 16 Exabyte's )

[Alex Fontana]

Correct me if I’m over simplifying things here…but doesn’t 2047GB = 1.99TB (not 2.47TB) since 1024GB = 1TB…right?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Medeiros, Jose Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 7:22 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] NTFS ( 16 Exabyte's )   Greetings,   Quick question. I just finished building two new 2003 servers running Microsoft Clustering services and presented two 2047 Gigabyte LUNS to each cluster node. However the OS is only seeing 1.99 Terabytes (Please see my screen capture). I specifically recall from my Microsoft NT 3.51 server class taught by Michael Van Decreek at Technology Education Centers back in 1996 using official MOC, that NTFS is a 64 bit file system ( 2 to the 64th power  = 16 Exabytes ). 16 Exabyte’s is the largest partition available on NT 3.51, however I do not seem to recall if this has been changed in 2003, since I only took a course on Active Directory 2003, Exchange 2003, SQL 2005 and ISA 2004.   So why I am only seeing 1.99 TB on a 2.47 TB LUN? Is any one else running a larger LUN size using NTFS? Any issues or corruption of the MSFT that I should no about?   My apologies in advance for the newbie question ( I really should know this answer ).   Sincerely, Jose Medeiros Storage Area Network Systems Engineer MCP+I, MCSE, NT4 MCT 408-765-0437  Direct, 408-449-6621 Cell "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."  Albert Einstein
