A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
Authored by: jkane on Apr 07, '04 12:04:43PM
The safest way is currently to make your 8GB partion the default, then modify the fstab file to mount the bulk of your files from larger separate partitions. See the hint at: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021011053443661 for details. There really should be a concerted effort to get Apple to support (or at least respect) mount points in future versions of OSX. This is such a basic feature of every other version of *nix out there. Any ideas on how to acomplish this?
