Does PFS3 require a newer scsi.device or any additional files or patches for HDD's larger than 4GB, or to have an 8GB or a 16GB CF card as one partition which covers the entire CF card? :confused:


Everything requires an updated scsi.device (or compatible*), since the filesystem sits on top of it. I imagine if you loaded scsi.device via FlashROM and then used a 64bit filesystem on the HD/CF you could get away with a >4GB boot partition, but that'll make emergency recovery all the more difficult...


* Other drive controllers are natively 64bit and don't need to be fixed. I think cybppc.device is one such device, not sure what the others are.
