Since my hd is making trouble, I'm looking for a new one.
Yesterday I've seen a "cheap" 300GB sized disk.
I remember that there was a problem with disks > 120GB.
Do I remember right? Or is this problem fixed already?
What are the limits of MorphOS/BIOS/Pegasos?

Hi Robin i use a 250GB HD, the only Problem is with Partitions bigger 120 or 128GB.

Before 1.4.4 I think, there was a limitation of harddisk-size upto 120 GB. But now, it shouldn't be a problem, as ThePlayer I'm using a 250 gig hd in my Peg.

I've had a 300 GB IDE hardrive in both my A1200 and Peg-II, works perfectly on both... (the only trouble was partioning it on the A1200 blizzppc.device was... well not really TD64 compliant)

You should also use optimal geometry (worked best for me).

Like previously mentioned the unintentional limit used to be ~120GB, but this has been fixed, and you should be able to use the whole HD, just be sure to check what limits the FS you are using impose on the partition size (f.ex. iirc PFS has a limit of 104GB each, and SFS probably has a similar limit)...


- CISC

The hd runs since quite a while now
And the biggest partition for MorphOS/SFS is 60GB
and I just wait for next ubuntu release to reinstall
linux ... I've still 190 GB unpartitioned but even
the linuxppc monster does not need so much space

I've got a 104 GB partion in MOS/SFS, are you sure about the
60GB limit?

Which 60GB limit? :)

Hehe ... thats how rumours start
It's just MY biggest partition because
I dont need a bigger one ...

Partition limit is 120 or 128GB, hope one day this limit will fall and i can buy a 400 and more GB big HD and use it as one Disk without any limits.
