What's the largest hard drive (in GB) Mandrake can support? I plan to install a hard drive larger than 120GB.

I have not heard about such limit in linux/mandrake, so I dont think there is any.
(In MS windows you however get trouble if you try to use all space in one partition
with 120 Gb+)

I'm running 10.0 on a 120G Maxtor and also on a 250Gig raid 5 array on a server. No problems!!!!

It has to do with the filesystem, not the OS. While FAT32(?) only allows up to 120GB, Ext3 can go up into the Terabytes, I believe.

Thanks. Now if I have say 2 hard drives or more now does partitioning of the drives work?
