I have a 9gb and an 18gb drive in one of my E10K's D1000. I'd like to
disksuite them up for a more fault tolerant boot pair. The 9gb drive is my
current boot drive. But when I try to fmthard the 18gb drive, it complains
that the sector ends not at the cylinder end or something. So I got it
partitioned as close as I could manually. Can I mirror these up with
disksuite still even though the geometries are not exactly alike? I've
made the new disk partitions slightly bigger than the original.
