Comment: My 146GB disk is working!
So far in my ultra 1 where I installed Solaris 9 on a 2GB disk then added this big one.
I made it this way because I am not used to add disks and I don't want to destroy my existing data in the working ultra 2, next step is to move the disk drive to the ultra 2.

Reply: (edit)Why would you bet against it? All you would have to do is partition the HD and be down with it. Or in the Sun world, Put a "slice" on it. hehehe funny Sun people.

Reply: (edit)Why would anyone suspect such an old SPARC machine as being able to support a LBA EIDE drive?
I find it to be against what I have seen. We have to get special notebook ide drives and a re-flash them to fool an ide to scsi adapters in a few of our systems. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

Reply: (edit)Ummm.. what? You can buy 140 gig scsi drives off of ebay, stick them in your old ultra 1 and put a slice on them. I'm not any Sun expert, but I know that I have not seen any size limitations that were actually true.

Reply: (edit)If you read this you get the impression it was an IDE drive. The original poster stated "Do you know about the magic 137 GB limit for the IDE interface?" It may be that he was mistaken and meant scsi. http://computing.net/solaris/wwwboa... I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
