SFS partition size

[MozzerFan]

Hey. I'm currently prepping a 320GB IDE harddrive to use in my Amiga. What is the largest partition size SFS will allow? I'm using version 1.277. And I'm using AmigaOS 3.9 (before you ask;) )

According to the old website (http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/features.htm), the limit is about 2000 GB.
I don't think this is different for the current version of SFS.

Just checked an old changes.txt file.
These are the current max partition sizes (from version 1.245  and up):
 
- SFS now refuses to format too large partitions and existing too large
  partitions are mounted read-only. The current partition size limits
  of SFS are:
   64 GB with   512 bytes/block
  128 GB with  1024 bytes/block
  256 GB with  2048 bytes/block
  512 GB with  4096 bytes/block
    1 TB with  8192 bytes/block
    2 TB with 16384 and 32768 bytes/block

You are correct.
 
Quote from the changes.txt file:
 
1.254 (4.3.2006)
- The limits mentioned in the 1.245 notes were wrong, sorry. The actual
partition size limit of SFS 1.x is 128 GB, no matter which blocksize
you are using. Changed the checks to the actual limits. You can
continue to use too large partitions, but you may get "disk full"
errors (instead of a trashed partition) even if there is still free
space on the partition.
 
Edit:
for 'SFS2' partitions the limit is 1 TB, but it can be more depending on the blocksize, with 32KB/Block it's 64 TB.

What is the size limit for SFS 2.x?

See my previous post.
 

Is there SFS 2.x for 680x0 systems?
