Largest size is the size of the HD. But then you'll run into some problems:

 - If accidentally you turn the Amiga off during a writing cycle (or if the computer freeze when writing something) you'll experience a validating period in the next boot. Expect to wait around 10 hours or more waiting for the Workbench shows up;:furious:

 - Some programs count the available space, and they can't understand numbers over 2Gb in size (for those programs the value will become negative), so they crashes, or quit without warning;:furious:

 - Even Workbench programs who mess with the HD will have those problems.:furious:

 So the best answer is: keep partitions under 2Gb. 1.9Gb is perfect!
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
