Question about HDD w/ Linux

I can't remember where I read this (I might also have misunderstood) but appareantly Linux can't read partition
greater then 15GB on a drive? Is this true and if so, could you partition a 36Gb driver in 3 partition, 15, 15, 6?

The other question I have is that I just bought an adaptec 29160N SCSI card and was wondering what are some of the
best drive for Ultra 160 SCSI cards? Right now I'm considering buying an IBM UltraStar 36LZX 9GB, 10K RPM.

Thanks,

Eric
 
The only Linux Hard Drive limit that I know of is that older versions of Lilo can't boot from partitions beyond the 8GB boundary. However, that limit was removed a year ago. If there was a limit to the size of a partition that Linux could read, it wouldn't be of much use as a server. I've had it read 40+ GB just fine.
