Hello Morphers, I have some questions to ask the ommunity:

Issue 1)

More than often I encountered a MorphOS Filesystem Warning message at boot:

It may vary the block number, but more or less it says that:

Quote:

Pop up Warning Windows has two choices

Continue - No More requesters

Clicking on "continue" it seems system working flawlessly, but after some dozens reboots or restarts it reappears.

So then:


Option A)

Should I validate Hard Disk


Option B)

Save Data and reformat partition DH1:?


Option C)

Start seriously worrying that my Seagate ST9808210A 80 GB UDMA 4200RPM is at least aging and becoming unstable, and should buy another one?


And here my issues:

Upto now I never encountered any loss of data, but in the meanwhile last week I bought an external Firewre/ESata Enclosure 3,5" SATA HD Standard for about 25 euro and I am planning to put in it 1TB unit, in order to backup my system and have a FireWire boot external drive on which installing MacOS as second Operating System.


And also I want to buy a 320 GB IDE 2,5" as internal standard device:

But SURPRISE!

Early MacMini G4 computers does not support units more than 128 GB Units... O_O


What a Apple dirty joke SH°@#!


However this limit does not afflict latest G4 machines and G5.


Question I)

I have MacMini G4 clocked at 1,415 GHz, am I out of danger and can install any kind of hard disks, or am I stuck to a limit of 128GB hard disks?


Question II)

Does this limit afflicts only MacOS and I can format, partitioning and use external 1TB 3,5" unit and internal 320 GB Hard Disk from MorphOS, or is it a limit of the IDE electronics?

If I can manage big data units thru MorphOS, Should I be able to reserve space for N number of MacOS partitions MAX of 128 GB and the system will see it with no problems?

Thank you in advance for any kind answer.
