Hard drive issue >4gb

[Thomas]

Firstly, i cant handle files above 32 or 16 megs, this could make sense as i have 32 megs of ram, but i cant wget above 32 megs nor ftp, and i cant archive with tar above 32, but i with lha, 16 seem to be the limit.

Check MaxTransfer for all your partitions. If it's higher than 0xffffff set it to 0xffffff.

Check number of buffers for all your partitions. Use 50 buffers per GB, but not more than 300 or so. Note that each buffer is as big as the block size defined for that partition.

Add more RAM.

My second issue is with the hard drive, it refuses to see more then 8 gigs of the 60 in there, this wasnt a problem before with 3.1 but im now using bb2 i figure re-defining the drive might work but that brings me back to my first issue, as i need to back things up.. Anyone got a take on this?

is this because the partition isnt above 4gb?

Yes. The column should actualy be "above 4GB", but there is only space for four letters in the head line. ">4gb" seemed to be the best abbrevation.

The only column which matters is "check". If it say ok, then it's ok.
