Any storage person will tell you that unless ABSOLUTELY necessary you
don't want to use large drives. You are always better off using
greater quantities of smaller drives rather than smaller quantities of
larger drives. The more spindles you have in your RAID solution, the
better.
About the only time in the near future at all someone would use that
size of drive is if they have a huge SAN with PB's of storage. But in
that case the size of individual disks doesn't matter, only the size
of the LUNs.
And also as you stated in another post, this clearly isn't a SLES
issue. To quote,
"I tried Ubuntu,RHEL, and CentOS, no luck with those"
So obviously this is a *general Linux issue*. So then why all the
complaints about Novell being at fault?
