Re: [PLUG] Adaptec 3805 w/ CentOS


Partitions

/boot was 100mb - not sure about th e cylinders - can check that out  
easy enough
I can peek @ a few distro's not picky

In short - the system is really just hosting vmware instances

Their support was a pain today - not much help but will try tomorrow  
when its not the weekend.

I am thinking someone that can help here - might be worth chatting w/
its worth a few bucks for me to make sure I get it up prior to going  
out of town

Thanks again

PS - wish I was able to make your chat - sadly will be in Kansas City  
vs KOP :-(
one of these days I will make it out...

Glenn
from there everything else will be vm
