SFS problem

[SimonV]

Today I tried to install SFS with a modified WB 3.1 INSTALL disk. I discarded what was not needed and placed Smartfilesystem 1.279 in the "L" drawer and SFSformat in the root.

I more or less followed the tutorial as described in the wiki that explains how to use winuae to prep a HD with SFS for use in an A1200. Obviously I just skipped the winuae part.

I used a 60gb HD that I wanted to split in 2. I made one DH0: with 400Mb and  with the remaining space I made DH1:

DH0: shows up fine and I can format it with SFSformat after it shows up as DH0:ndos

But now the problem: DH1: show up fine in HDtoolbox ( but wrong partition size ) but it does not show up on my workbench as DH1:ndos and so I can not format it.

On DH0: I could install workbench without problems, and it boots fine.

So how do I get my second partition with all the diskspace ?

I tried that ... my system crashed when I did that.

i did: df0:SFSformat DRIVE DH1: NAME Work

isn't that a quickformat ? It formatted my dh0: instantly this way .

I used a standard escom install disk with standard hdtoolbox

I have an A1200 with blizzard 1230@50Mhz with 32MB and 3.1 kickroms

Why am i trying SFS when there is still that 4gb limit unless it's the HDtoolbox that is giving me problems now ?

[SimonV]

Why SFS ... I just want bigger partitions and seemed the most modern filesystem to me. If I am mistaken please enlighten me ;-)

[SimonV]

So the current situation is the I have a working dh0: SFSformatted SYSTEM partition. So If I install the patches now, it should solve my problems with the big partitions after a reboot ?

About the maxtransfer and as such I used what was stated here: http://wiki.classicamiga.com/How_to_install_SFS_onto_a_real_Harddrive_within_WinUAE

I will however check the docs that are supplied with 1.277 and make sure.
