Requirements for breaking 4 GB HD limit?
« on: January 05, 2003, 07:44:04 PM »
I know I could search around for this answer, but since I am here... I have the chance to use a 9 GB SCSI hard drive but wanted to know what the requirements were in order to easily break the 4 GB limit. I currently have OS3.5 with 3.1 ROMs on 3 harddrives (2 GB, 1 GB and 0.5 GB) and no other file system. A long time ago I looked at some of the other filesystems on Aminet and elsewhere but was not willing shell out for something that I really didn't need at the time. That situation hasn't changed because this 9 GB drive is just a bonus - I don't NEED to use it but just thought if it was easily done I would.

Thanks for help,
Pete

@ lorddef

Yeah that's what I meant. I would prefer to NOT partition the drive up into three partitions. Maybe two at the most - 2 and 7 GB.

I came to the conclusion that PFS was the best financially negative solution, but, like I said, I wasn't prepared to pay for something that I really didn't (and still don't) need.

Thanks,
Pete
