> sfs 1.279 aka sfs\00 does not support big partitions (>128gb) or big files (>4gb).

From the ReadMe of SFS 1.277:

"The size of a file is limited to about 4 GB (DOSType 'SFS\0', several TB with DOSType 'SFS\2')."
"Supports partitions of up to 128 GB (DOSType 'SFS\0', for 'SFS\2' partitions the limit is 1 TB, but it can be more depending on the blocksize, with 32KB/Block it's 64 TB)."

Use ext.

@Andreas
hmmmm, I'll try it, but I think I had in the past and didn't work, thx for the heads up :)

@jacad
but that's read-only from the OS4 side, am I wrong?

Big file support in SFS2 wont work. 64bit DOS systems are incompatible in MorphOS and OS4.

ah! I see! I think I had successfully used jxfs under OS4 with big files at some point and I thought I could with sfs2 as well. But I could still use big (>128gb) partitions, right? thx!

That's too bad. Using OS4's SFS under MorphOS is asking for trouble on the other hand. Use Fat then :)

Well, i never had no problem with SFS2 and it was to only way to use paritions bigger 127GB before icefs appeard.
I only use it on partitions that have to be that big...

thx all for your help :)

@digiman
did you use sfs2 2.3 or as Andreas suggested 1.279 with sfs\02 mask?

Using 128GB+ partition should be still fine. Large files are not really problem either. It is just that applications can not access files beyond 2GB limit.

@vulture:
I am using Jörg Strohmeyer SFS/2 on the partitions which
require 127gb+

@digiman + itix

thx both for the info!
