SFS partition not found under WinUAE

[tomekm]

i`ve had the same problem even with smaller drives. I connected my 4g caviar to pc with system partition as pfs3 and work as sfs and all i could do was to copy files using sfssalv. It worked, fortunately... The problem may be on the winuae`s side: it simply may have problems adressing the drive size, it may assign different drive geometry, thus, give the drive some fewer blocks it should. I think if I created a partition smaller by some megs, it would become visible. I have no way to check it, because i`m out of harddrives...

well, i had mentioned problem with 1,2gb drive, too. I know OS uses rdb, but what if num.of.blocks in rdb doesn`t match num.of.blocks given by uaehf.device? this may lead to problems if uaehf.device returns less blocks than the drive actually has. and the dissappearing partitions were documented in docs for new sfs. It was said that this version in incopatible with older ones.
