- Is there anyway to get around this limit? I have a 600MB drive and have it
- formatted so that each block is 10k and can't find a way to have smaller
- blocks. Is the limit of 2^16 due to the operating software or just the
- software that formats the drive.
-
- The reason I'm asking this is that we're setting up a large FirstClass BBS
- software and it stores every message as a file and you cannot have the
- messages in seperate volumes / partitions. I'm running System 7.0 on a IIfx.
-
- Can the software store messages in sub-folders of the main
- message-area folder? You could then make these sub-folders be aliases
- pointing to folders on different partitions. Or does the BBS software
- circumvent your access to the filesystem completely?
