Joel, Can your group do what Bill is asking below? Similar to the change of 36 gig to 300 gig...
Regards, Robert ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Disk drives Date: Mon March 28 2011 From: Bill Parke <[email protected]> To: Robert Garron <[email protected]>, Ken Ballou <[email protected]> Ask Joel if SATA drives, with 4KB block size drives can be supported. Anything over 2.7TB disk drives are not addressable in 512 byte blocks. Also, I believe the general Grub 2 (We need to get to it) supports GPT drives so there may or may not need to be microcode changes needed. Or the Grub folks may have already doen this (I would expect). Wee will need to get the state of all the available Debian packages to find out where alpa is already done, or partly done or AMD/Intel/Itaniun is known to work. We will need Debian's test harnesses and test modules used for old Alpha and new AMD (to adapt).
