@ tjlazer: its not the bridge because the drive formats perfectly to a large 500gb partition under FFS with no problems.
@Pvc: yes,i used the quick format,as stated,it has a problem in both os3.9 format and the sfsformat proggy.
@mark: ah! Thanks for the info.This explains it,in real life practice it seems to take 124.7gb partition no problem,anything over that comes back with the "disk full" problem when i attempt to partition it.
the whole reason for the large partition was for all my mp3's,pdf's and mpeg movies.but i guess i will have to settle for small partitions.If anyone cares,SFS1.273 (i think) on aminet has the same problem.
Will there ever be anyhope of the sfs authors to fix this?

From changesSFS_NEW.txt:
- 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.
