Re: [nslu2-linux] Re: Maximum FAT32 partition?

 

   Understood, and I have successfully formatted a FAT32 1Tb drive, so I know it is supported on some systems.  The question is, does the Slug care about the partition size?

   Another possibility:  does unslung 6.10 care about the sector size with which I formatted the FAT32 1Tb drive?

"FAT32 supports drives up to 2 terabytes in size."
