also bear in mind that disk manufaturers gigabytes are 1,000,000,000 bytes, not 1,073,741,824 bytes. :-o

so your "4.3Gb" disk is only 4100.8Mb. 4.8Mb over the 4096Mb limit. :-D

4Mb isn't a big deal to loose.
just make sure your paritions add up to less than 4096Mb if you don't have any patch software or updated fastfilesystem installed.

 :-)

as regards to a multidisk scsi setup... it'll have as many disks/partitions as you like on there.

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD

i've not heard of the 2Gb partition limit,
but i personally wouldn't have a system partition bigger than a gig - usually about 250Mb or so. as if at anytime you loose validation on your system drive, its going to take forever to re-validate a big partition.
