Large SCSI Hard Drive Problem

[Piru]

Anyone know how to get a large SCSI drive mounted?

At least Phase5/DCE accelerators with SCSI come with SCSIConfig tool that is supposed to be used instead of HDToolBox.

This SCSIConfig tool handles arbitrary size hard disks.

This SCSIConfig is supplied on a Amiga floppy, and it also contains >4gig patches for original AmigaOS 3.1 FastFileSystem (in case you don't have AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 fastfilesystem, SFS or PFS).

SCSI Tools V.2.4 MK II/1230/Fastlane
Blizzard SCSI IV System Disk
Cyberstorm PPC/Blizzard PPC SCSI Disk

Note that these are NOT likely to work on other SCSI controllers! (They might, if the device driver support TD64, however)

Anyhow, once the disk is initialized and partitions are set up, you save the changes and  reboot.

Now you need to quickformat the newly created partitions. Use Workench System/Format or Format command in cli: Format DRIVE XDH0: Name VolumeName QUICK

Now the new partitions are ready for use. (I don't get into installing AmigaOS here, since this can much depend on the host controller driver issues and such).


You didn't specify the SCSI Host controller type. This information would be useful.
