Misc Error on large partition (over 137GB)
Misc Error on large partition (over 137GB)
Well from what I have read you should be able to function fine on a drive bigger then 137GB,
But my F drive is larger then that, and I can install GentooX on E fine, and mount the F drive, but I run into errors when I try to export that drive with NFS or samba.
Any ideas?

I've just managed to get access to my f drive, which is > 137GB. I modified the xbox.c file using the information in this post;
viewtopic.php?t=789&highlight=137+gb
then rebuilt the kernal and mounted hda57 as f and it seems to be working.
hope this helps.

F+G drive is one option to consider if you started with empty hd and have the flexibility of re-partitioning the drive.
Knowing how to recompile kernel on the other hand, will benefit those who has filled up the F drive and couldn't afford the luxury to transfer out 100 Gb from xbox, re-partition to F+G, transfer back to xbox process.
I know Xbox with > 137Gb hd owners might be minority. But the ability to address the need for this group of users will display the true spirit behind opensource community.

figured this part out. The bzImage suppose to be copied to /mnt/fatx/e and not /boot because of the loopback. Which explains why it always load the same kernel and not the updated onedito199 wrote:Me too. Compiled and only getting hda55/56. There's no hda57. Can some1 post the patched xbox.c for illustration. Been trying to get this to work for a week to no avail.
Thx for any pointer

Yup, but somehow I lost the entire installation after running magic. I wonder if magic update kernel as well.
Anyway, have spent more than 2 weeks getting this to work and realized the time spent is not worth it. I ended up reformatting to F and G partition. In any case, the 137Gb itself is a limitation even in Windows. So no point trying too hard hacking the kernel for this feature.
And I also revert to use Home instead of Pro as the compilation effort and time is not acceptable.
