Reorg and > 4GB HD partition
« on: September 20, 2006, 05:10:53 PM »
Hi,

I've always used Reorg on my A1200 when I wanted to reorganise my HD and I almost used it on my current setup. I suddenly realised, does it actually work on my OS3.9 partition with FFS installed on it when the partition is crossing the 4 GB border and larger dan 4 Gb ???

Anyone who can confirm this ?

I'm surprised nobody likes ReOrg because I've used it alot and has never failed me. In my A600 I have a HD that makes alot of hacking noise when swapping tracks. After a reorg loading files won't make that hacky noise coz all tracks are after one another. Hence I used it alot.

But with the multitasking environment you're loading more files at once and you still hear the head swapping tracks. But I'm surprised that my computer at work always gets messed up even if I never delete files. You would expect the files there to stay in place but they get fragmented too ?

Anyway... I've formatted another partition and copyd all files to that. This works too!  :-D
