Well, when I installed my 72 Gig Seagate SCSI drive in my Debian 2.1
system, running Kernel 2.2.10 with an AHA-2940U2W, it *did* take some
amount of doing with expert mode in fdisk to get it to install a
partition table that actually used all 72 Gig of the drive...
But other than that, it's worked just fine.
And he's right, fscking a 72 gig ext2fs partition takes *forever*.
Heck, just *mounting* it takes almost a minute.
