Hi Guys,

I have a 160Gb HD of the following specs....

sii0680ide.device
PATA

I am trying to set it up and format it with Media Toolbox in OS4.0, I am using 512 block size, 5000 buffers and sfs\00. All goes fine setting it up until I try to format it, when I get the message that the drive is full (quick or normal format).

I can format it OK with FFS.

Any hints would be appreciated.

Ciao,
Trev Daley.

If you are using a single partition for the whole HD it's because the max. partition size supported by SFS is 128 GB.

Doh! I should have known that (now I feel stupid), that fixed the problem.

I guess that I just assumed that if it worked in FFS it would work in SFS, being a superior file system.

Oh well.

Many thanks,
Trev Daley.

Are you sure? You might need to increase the block size to get larger partitions....

Have a look at the sfs-changelog...

- The limits mentioned in the 1.245 notes were wrong, sorry. The actual
partition size limit of SFS 1.x is 128 GB, no matter which blocksize
you are using. Changed the checks to the actual limits. You can
continue to use too large partitions, but you may get "disk full"
errors (instead of a trashed partition) even if there is still free
space on the partition.
