- ^^^^ That might be the problem. There seems to be
- a 32-bit limitation in the device driver and/or file system to limit HD to
- 4 gig. If you are running OS3.X, you might be able to change the block
- size and get the file system to address the drive. Very likely your
- device driver would give you trouble on crossing the 4 gig limit.
-
- Supposingly AFS might address this set of problems by talking to
- the device driver with SCSI direct. I don't know whether or not the
- current software revision does that.
