Re: moving affs + RDB partition support to staging?

It's more likely the filesystem unless I didn't get the RDBs up to 3.1 status. I am pretty damn sure I did as I had an 18 gigabyte disk I was using at the time. And I made sure it would mount with Linux. Files greater than 2 gigs were sure to get messed up. But that was not RDBs. The disk had 9 gigs worth of AFS partitions and 9 gigs worth of SFS partitions. The big SFS partition was most of the 9 gigabytes. (The hdf file is 8,932,818,944 bytes.) There was a tiny system partition on it. It used some of Bill Hawes' goodies to overlay some useful paths.

I'm not sure the machine still boots. The disk in question no longer spins up.

indicate the RDB parser bug is fixed by the patch given there, so if
Martin now submits the patch, all should be well?

Ok, better be honest than having anyone waiting for it:

I do not care enough about this, in order to motivate myself preparing
the a patch from Joanne DowÂs fix.

I am not even using my Amiga boxes anymore, not even the Sam440ep which
I still have in my apartment.

So RDB support in Linux it remains broken for disks larger 2 TB, unless
someone else does.

Thanks.
