OK, I think this is advanced. Anyway, I am trying to install 'Drake 7.2 on a system with a Mylex AcceleRAID 170 and three 'Cuda 36G 10K drives. When I try to setup my partitions with the install gui (in advanced mode, of course) I am receiving this error: ext2 formatting of rd/c0d0p8 failed I have a feeling I may have exceeded the max number of allowed partitions on the device, lun, or just within 'Drake. I am trying: /boot, 20M /root, 250M /home, 4G /swap, 250M /usr, 6G /opt, 4G /, 4G Any ideas? John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC.
