Hi,
Nowadays we are getting access to old and new hardware that allows us to attach what once would have been considered unthinkably large hard drives (and other storage media) to our low-spec wedge Amigas.
For instance, I just attached a 2.1GB hard drive to my A500 (SCSI) and I'm sure others have attached much larger hard drives.
After doing this, I installed my favourite defragmenting tool, ReOrg, on this Amiga.
I tested it out and it said "Not enough memory" --- reading the docs apparently it needs like 7K per MB plus some more cache RAM, etc. etc.
I had always used this tool with my A2000, which had about 50MB of RAM installed - so I never ran into this problem. It was a bit of a surprise.
I'm using an A500 with about 4MB RAM total.
So what is the tool of choice that will allow us to defrag these large volumes when attached to a low-spec Amiga?
Chaos Lord method is very compatible and effective if you have enough space. In case you don't have space and use FFS/OFS ReOrg worked nicely with my miggies (don't use it with HDs bigger than 4GB!)
