   Hey devs,

   since i'm going to use slitaz as a file server, i would like to know
   which hdd capacity is supported? I'm going to buy 2 or 3 4TB HDDs. Does it depend on the controller, or should i consider another linux distro that meets my requirements?

   Sincerely
   your linux_noob

   Key Master

   With mbr partitions: 2TB

   With GPT or without partitions:
   - ext3: 32TB
   - ext4: 1EB
   - xfs: 8EB

   Thankx Bellard!

   I'm going to use the hdds without mbr, so buying a larger hdd than 2 gb will cause not much trouble.
