Title: changing disks
Post by: jor70 on April 18, 2004, 11:57:03 AM

I have a SME6 server running on an AMD 500 very well. It have 3 disks  hda (for data)  hdc (boot and root)  and hdd (more data)

Im changing hdd (30gb) for a new one of (80gb)  
the bios refuse to auto detect it so I put none on it and linux detect it ok

Should I have any problem doing this ?  I need to change something more somewhere in linux ?  journal ?

thanks

Older Bios can struggle with larger HDDs.

My home SME server also is an AMD K6III500, its motherboard cannot pick up the 80Gb HDD either. It has however been running on it very hapilly for about 2 years now ;)

linux detects hardware itself, whatever the BIOS thinks it has detected.

so linux detects HDs that are unknown or not detected by the BIOS.
after rhat the HDs work perfekt.
