And you can't boot from such devices because, as the other posted mentioned, you must use a gpt partition label, which grub does not support. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

However I have to make this partition on ext3 with make2efs –j /dev/sda1 and after the formatting it went to 1.2T. Could someone help me to address this issue by suggesting a proper partitioning utility which does this for me?. It is a production server on which 2 hdd had been failed and I need to make it up and running ASAP. Any suggestion and help would be really appreciated. Regards, *Rajeev R.
