Does this still work? Is there now a better way?

I have a non-native gentoox install on my F: drive. After using "magic newfs" a couple of times, I've become frustrated because I have files that are greater than 4gb in size, and the 4gb loopback partitions don't cut the mustard. The procedure outlined above in this topic was written in 2...
