Hi all,
I've been trawlng the docs which make it very clear that vmware server does not support virtual disks larger than 128GB (IDE) and 256GB (SCSI). I need to mount a 350GB data partition, ideally on the present win32 host.
This win32 host has a 400GB drive split into 2 partitions, 50GB for the OS, VMWare+Applications and 350GB for data.
I am happy to mount the 350GB partition natively (raw) but I just read that SATA is not supported under win32.
So, first is this true or is there a workaround to getting it going under winXP?
Is it okay under Linux? If so I might have to swap this host over to Suse 10.1
My disk is SATA, but if advisable I can run out and get a replacement 400GB EIDE one.
What do you people do when you have to mount big partitions in vmware?
Many thanks in advance for any sage advice/suggestions...
