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
