Hi fellow Amiga users.... I know that there is a limit to how large an AmigaDos partition can be, but I can't remember what it was. Does anyone know what the MAX size is for a partition? Somewhere around 50Meg? And does this max size exist for both the old file system and the new file system? I am formatting a new HD and would like the partitions to be as large as can be. Thanks for any help! - Doug - Doug_B_Erdely@Portal.Cup.Com

Though it may be closer to 20 or 30 Meg. I don't really know. But for FFS, you have have pretty huge partitions. I think the limit is on the order of a gigabyte or a hundred gigabytes or some such. More than your drive is likely to have; try the entire drive as one partition.

Maximum partition size:
OFS: ~54 meg
FFS: 2.2 gig (or 2.0 gig... depending on how you count your gigs :-)
