U5 and Large IDE Disk

2007-12-24 21:38:00

I have an older U5 270 running Solaris 8. I previously had a 40gig drive in
the workstation and have replaced it with a 120gig Maxtor. The drive comes
up as 20gig in format, once I enter the drive info from Maxtor's site, it
comes up as 10gig.

The drive is a Maxtor 4G120J6. Their page says it is 16,382 cyclinders,
16HDs, and 63 sectors. I entered this into format and it comes up as 10gig.

Here is what format says out of the box:
2 backup wu 0 - 41605 20.00GB (41606/0/0) 41938848

I had no idea if I could use all 120gigs of this drive, but my guess was
that it would be able to use somewhere between 80-100gig of it.

Any help would be great.

thanks,
Matt
