Are you positive these hdd's are bad? If these hdd's that you lebeled
'failing' are really bugged, get rid of them. Sarge is absolutely able
to use 30GB without any special parameter. With only the 10GB and the
6.4GB in the machine, you won't even have the 30GB problem.
By the way: whats the point on having a p4, if you deploy such a slow
set of hdd's? Its not capacity, but speed. Get a new 7200rpm sata and be
happy. Its worth paying for.
Also, check if you downloaded the lastest iso's.
And, if you decide to keep the 10GB and the 6.4GB in the machine, maybe
its a good idea to create swaps in both, so you gain a little performance.
Thank you for replaying.
Perhaps I haven't made myself clear.
Please allow me to correct this now : All the hardware mentioned in my
previous post is fault free. The reason that the 6.4GB and the 10GB
worked, utilizing their full storage space, is because it didn't
existed the 30GB barrier. I was trying to utilize the full 80GB /
160GB space of the other hdd's and that is what was failing. When I
mentioned the so called "work around" I was implying that it doesn't
make any difference what's the device storage capacity really is - As
long a I weren't using (in general) more then 30GB, the setup passed
the base-system phase and finished normally.
OT: Please leave *my* hardware purchase decisions to me, unless of
curse you are willing to donate me some - In that case you are more
then welcome.
1/2 OT: In case you (actually) decide to donate me some hardware, let
me assure you it will used to promote free software in Israel (no joke
here!).
