- I'm not at all clear on just what you are asking, but the particular
- configuration you cite will work in IRIX 3.3 and later with no problem.
- This would have to be a concatenated, not striped lv, of course, or if you
- want it to be a striped lv, you will have to use part of the 1.2 Gb
- drive for something else (and of course the lv must be rebuilt from
- scratch when adding another drive to a striped lv).
-
- The maximum size of a filesystem (lv or otherwise) is still 8 Gb).
