<br>
I appreciate your response. <br>
<br>
Currently the server has set up a Raid-1 with 2 SCSI disks, it adds up to 6
SCSI disks with the following configuration: <br>
<br>
- Raid-1 (4 SCSI disks) <br>
- Raid-1 (2 SCSI disks) <br>
<br>
Therefore will have 3 SCSI disk arrays. <br>
<br>
The server is not configured with LVM. <br>
<br>
CentOS 4.7 support this configuration? <br>
<br>
Another supplementary question, because CentOS 4.7 only recognizes 273GB if
the disk is 300GB? <br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
<br>
