Oh, frustrated am I. I did find an amazingly comprehensive site on just
this topic when I was researching my own difficulties with linux and my
ONTrack disk mangler, etc. I cut and pasted stuff to notepad, printed it
off, and lost the document promptly thereafter. I can type bits from it,
but best I can do, unable to find the URl, I suggest you do the same search
on the redhat linux site, seeking out problems with oversized drives. What
I printed off is more relevant to my 3.2 gig drive than to your 10gig drive.
anyway, the information you seek is out there in the vicinity of the linux
redhat site...

currently in use at the time of the writing of Revelations.
