| Subject: | PFS3 format probs |
Hi,
I finally got around to installing pfs3 after owning it for 2 months :)
Installed fine, made backups of HDD, added it to my RDB no probs, changed
a few partitions to pfs3, formatted them OK (using pfsformat). However,
some of the later partitions once it reaches the "Initialising disk..."
stage of formatting, a requester pops up with some info about PFS3 and on
closing that I get a "PFS-3+ Error" requester (text in it reads "Write
Error -3 <something> block 0. Make sure disk is inserted").
Can anyone shed some light on why I get this? My setup is as follows:
* OS3.5 (running the updated scsi.device for big HDDs, also running the
updated FFS - they've both worked fine over the whole disk)
* 13Gb HDD connected to A1200 Power/Elbox 4xEIDE interface (on internal
IDE connector)
* PFS3 v5.3 - been using the normal version, as I didn't think I'd need
the direct scsi since the updated scsi.device from OS3.5 supports big
disks
* The partitions which fail to format are all after the 2Gb barrier. Some
are past 4Gb. None are larger than 2Gb.
If you need more info, mail me. Thanks in advance.
