Hi,

...werde ich probieren, glaube aber nicht das es was bringt...die 'Fehlerueberpruefung' unter Windows war eine einzige _stundenlange_ Katastrophe....
Mir waere es im Moment wichtig, dass die Ahnungstraeger hier einen evtl. 'Fehler' im Linuxkernel der Box fixen und/oder eine diesbezuegliche Warnung an die User aussprechen...oder 100% bestaetigen dass die Box korrekt mit solchen grossen Platten umgehen kann....
Die Wenigsten hier werden wissen wie sch... so ein Datenverlust ist und nochmal:ich moechte nicht, dass ein User hier so eine Erfahrung macht...ob die Platte _jetzt_ wirklich defekt ist, werde ich erst heute Abend wissen und hier berichten.
cu,
peter
PS:es scheint aber ein bekanntes Problem zu sein....was vielleicht doch nix mit Linux zu tun hat...

137 GB Hard Drive Capacity Barrier
Implementation of 48-bit Addressing Required for Hard Drives Larger than 137.4 GB
The need to break the 137 GB hard drive barrier is spurred by today's advanced applications, including digital video (DV) and music recording/editing programs, personal video recorders (PVRs), set-top boxes, network attached storage (NAS), and RAID solutions. All of these applications can use up over 100 GB of storage space quickly.
The Advent of 48-bit Addressing
Western Digital is the first company to ship a 200 GB drive using 48-bit addressing to break the 137 GB barrier. 48-bit addressing is the newest ATA storage interface standard to emerge from the organization dedicated to setting hard drives standards, the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) T13 Technical Committee. Most ATA interfaces in use today employ a 28-bit addressing sytem for data transfer between the operating system, BIOS, and hard drive.
The major differences between 48-bit addressing and 28-bit addressing are as follows:
· In 28-bit addressing, there are only 28 bits available to access a given address on the hard drive, which when all bits are set equates to 137 GB.
· By doubling the number of bits that can be used to access a given address, 48-bit LBA addressing pushes the maximum storage limit to 144 petabytes. An additional benefit to the 48-bit capabilility is the ability to transfer more than 256 sectors per command (i.e., up to 65,536 sectors per command).
Interoperability between 48-bit and 28-bit addressing maintains compatibility between older hard drives and new, larger hard drives installed in the same system.
Hardware and Software Solutions
Employing the new technology required to break the 137 GB barrier required the efforts of hard drive manufacturers, operating system (OS) vendors, and BIOS companies. Hardware and/or software solutions were required from each to enable implementation of the 48-bit address feature set.
Business Entities Solution
Hard drive manufacturers Change in the system ASIC and/or development of new interface chips on drives or PCI add-in cards that allow deployment of 48-bit addressing.
OS vendors The increase of storage device addressing from 28 or 32 bits up to 48 bits or more.
BIOS companies Reworking of software to recognize increased device capacity and enable the passing of 48-bit commands to the devices.
Industry Acceptance and Compatibility
The new 48-bit addressing standard has quickly become accepted by the industry, with support from Microsoft, Intel, Via, and every hard drive manufacturer. The current plans for Serial ATA, the next generation ATA storage interface, call for the transparent utilization of the 48-bit addressing standard as part of the protocol. In the future, most new systems will be equipped to natively handle large drives. Please check with your system manufacturer if you require an adapter card or if they offer online support for your current equipment.
Summary
The ever-growing demand for storage space by today's storage-intensive applications has prompted development of 48-bit sector addressing to break the 137 GB barrier for hard drives. The ANSI T13 Technical Committee developed 48-bit addressing, which is interoperable with the previous 28-bit addressing standard. The final industry-wide implementation of 48-bit addressing is underway, and the standard will also be utilized in the development of Serial ATA, the next generation ATA storage interface.
Ob mein Muttibrett das kann weiss ich nicht....ich werde heute Abend erst mal meine Partitionen <137GB machen und bei ASUS checken ob das Bios damit klar kommt...und allen die hier mitlesen mit solchen fetten Platten wuerde ich das auch empfehlen....und hier
http://www.asuscom.de/support/FAQ/faq07 ... dd.htm#tab koennt Ihr Euch informieren wenn Ihr ein ASUS-Muttibrett habt, ob Ihr 'betroffen' seid...aber was waere, wenn mein Bios aktuell ist und mit den grossen Platten umgehen kann...???
