What is easiest filesystem for a partition to get rid off the 4GB filesize barrier?
Ntfs,Icefilesystem or pfs?
It is for a internal harddrive off a powerbook.

PFS doesn't do this, AFAIK.

I think SFS/02 will do and probably IceFS as well, not sure though. NTFS has no 4gb limit, that's for sure.

SFS/02 lacks support for 64-bit DOS packets so it is no use. IceFS is probably the best choice.

Update:

Maybe it does now (on AROS at least):

http://repo.or.cz/w/AROS.git/commit/89ffb09e428a1a2aa29a553f5232030a382f0ff3

The 64-bit MorphOS packets are not implemented yet in PFS:
http://repo.or.cz/w/AROS.git/blob/HEAD:/rom/filesys/pfs3/fs/dostohandlerinterface.c#l321

MorphOS PFS (as included with MorphOS) does not support >2GB files.

Quote:
If the filesystem does not implement the DOS64 packets (they return ACTION_NOT_KNOWN), dos.library will fall back to implementing the 64bit dos.library calls via the older dospackets. Thus, you can call the new 64bit DOScalls and they work as expected, even with PFS3.

The packets only need be implemented if larger than 2GB files are supported (which they are not).

The details of adding 64bit dospacket support is documented in the SDK dos/dosextens.h header file.

Of course if AROS manages to add support for large partitions (and files) that would be very welcome development. Of course I will not rule out backporting the changes to MorphOS included PFS, but great care must be taken to make sure that no incompatibilities are introduced.

Use IceFS! It's designed for MOS, is running perfect on MOS-machines, is stable and safe. I use it on PEG2, EFIKA, PB and Mini.......
