Sorry to bring this up yet again, but I have 2 PPC's one a 9500 and one
a 7100, both running MacOs 8 (and after reading the apple support pages,
aparently the machines can support up to 4TB.) I wound up with a
problem in limits of drive size when I mount the netatalk server (Linux
slackware 96/netatalk 1.4b2 with the mac os 8 fix). It reports 2gig
where I actually have a 32GB raid array available on the file server. I
have looked through the dist for a compile time option, but have found
none. What is the trick to make it repor the ACTUAL size?
Thanks again,
Walt
