Lots of partitions? what for?Lots of partitions? what for?Posted Jul 18, 2008 7:56 UTC (Fri) by dgm (subscriber, #49227)In reply to: Lots of partitions? what for? by ljt Parent article: Block layer: integrity checking and lots of partitions

Go explained Posted Jul 18, 2008 20:57 UTC (Fri) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] My recently-purchased SATA disk says "1 TB/To" and "32 MB Cache/Mo Cachette" on the retail box, so my assumption is yes, this is French. Plus, the line Guarantie limitée de 5 ans would seem to confirm this. I don't know French, but I can recognize it in written/printed text. Yes, this is a late-model Seagate consumer drive. :-)
Go explained Posted Jul 18, 2008 21:14 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] It's French: 'octet'. (You often see this in older standards documents, too, which have to be clear about the number of bits in a byte.)
