second HD

I installed V5.05 on a new machine (2.4GHz, 512MB and 2 SCSI HD's of 18GB).
It seems, however, that only one disk is used. Strange since astaro needs much more diskspace that V4. Can't you direct the installer to use both disks?

Hi

To my knowledge only 1 HD is addressed during installation, unfortunately the installation can not be customized. One of the other posters may know different.

Have you tried raising a support form from the main Astaro site?

This would be nice.

I imagine you could load the diskpart utility, but it should handle it out of the gate. Multiple disks, better performance. Maybe Astaro can discuss a 'gotcha' of doing it...

2nd hd would be great , especially for the squid cache.

You are better off using a single, larger capacity hard drive. The firewall machine consumes less electricity that way.

Also keep in mind that firewall software is commonly run on small form factor PCs that only have room for a single hard drive inside the case.

Even in a small 1U rack casing, like the one I use, is place for 4 disks. If HD space and/or speed is an issue (and not electricity) using multiple HD's would be an improvement.
During installation, during Hardware detection, it even mentions "Harddisk(s)", so why not use them.
