<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>I need to install Centos on a machine with 3tb raid disk.
(3 ware raid card) Could someone in the list suggest a utility for partition
this disk. I would like to have the whole disk in 1 partition and format it
for ext3. The default partitioning utility doesn’t do this. The OS sits on
another SATA disk and each time during the installation it doesn’t format the
full disk which is 3TB. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Could someone suggest another disk partitioning utility
(other than fdisk) please?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
