Subject: Very Large Disk

I'm looking at installing some new disk on my XP1000.
It seems Seagate now make a 50GB U2W LVD disk drive.
Anyone know if this will give Alpha Linux heartburn??
I have an 18GB installed now without trouble so I know
that works. Has anyone got a 36GB or larger drive installed
and functional? Or that tried and failed to get it to
work?
Also, to use the disk as a single partition, does the
ext2 file system block size need to be increased? I can
easily generate a file that will fill the whole drive
so that has to be supported.
Any data points would be useful.
Also, I've got 4 new UW/U2W SCSI cards I'll be playing
with in the next couple days and will report which
play well with Alpha Linux.
(IWILL, Tekram(2 types), Datastorm, Qlogic 1040B)
Should be interesting.
