Re: USB drive on the i

Folks:

I'm investigating the possibility of using the USB drive capability with
our new system.

I found a page in the IBM i developerworks site that indicates the maximum
capacity is 32GB (http://urlq.me/236y2jK).

Does anyone know if this is this a hard limit or just a maximum limit that
they will ensure functionality?

Ideally, I would like to put a 1tb USB drive on our system, mount the
drive on our management partition, export that path via NFS, and mount the
directory in the client partitions so that we can backup the client
partitions via virtual tape.

Thanks!

david
