hm, I wonder if that compatibility mode could be turned off;
because, with 4096 byte blocks, the limit would be 8*2Gb ?

I mean at least some new OS/software would be able to use largest drives without requiring new controllers?

plus the drives might be a bit faster.

@Piru

This new version of Pfs3 give uninitialised partitions beyond the 4 Gb border : "Write Error -3 on block 0" when used with the scsi 43.45 (Boing Bag 2) burned on eprom...

I'll try with the v18.5 on Aminet, but I think I'll get the same result !

Use the bug tracker, please. Also, please include output from check4gb.

For whatever reason this device doesn't appear to have a working HD_SCSICMD interface (DirectSCSI). This is indicated by the Check4GB output as well (no S).

This doesn't explain why old PFS3 supposedly works. I suspect some problem with your testing method rather than that the old PFS3 would actually be working.

I did not bump the filesystem version.
Code:
     2   michielp #define REVISION "18.4"
     2   michielp #define REVDATE  "11.09.99"
     2   michielp #define REVTIME  "18:02:53"
     2   michielp #define AUTHOR   "Michiel Pelt"
     2   michielp #define VERNUM   18
     2   michielp #define REVNUM   4

v18.5 is the official PFS3 without any of my changes. If it fails then I can't see how this could be my fault.

Finally: The svn version is a work in progress. Anyone using this snapshot is doing so with the knowledge that things may be in flux. I strongly suggest you avoid using random svn builds and rather use the official v18.5 for now.

Really? Isn't that 43.45 some unofficial patch from aminet?

I believed the src version on Aminet was v18.3... My mistake, it's the v18.4...

When coders add some new changes on some sources, they bump the version or the revision numbers...

Anyway, the v18.4 on Aminet compiled with SAS/C 6.58 give the same error than the last files updated on SourceForge...

So the conclusion is that this is not Piru's fault.
Correct?

The source committed to SVN was for earlier PFS3 version (iirc PFS3 5.2 aka 18.4), since the very last src were lost. The source code has since been brought up to date and the current SVN should match the PFS3 5.3 (18.5) in features. See here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func...1&atid=2163218

The SVN "trunk" version is work in progress (and as such the revision hasn't been touched yet). The SVN trunk version isn't guaranteed to be stable at any given moment. Obviously there's nothing we can do to prevent anyone from releasing snapshot builds, but I would appreciate it if any such release would be accompanied with a warning about it being only a snapshot build.

http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/PFS3_53 contains v18.5 though.

Well, you might wanna bring RELNUM up-to-date. Currently it's still at 5.0.

So why not add an alpha or beta definition in the svn, like #define RELNUM "5.2 Beta" (or Alpha), which I did in my copy (unreleased though).
