MSDOSFS_LARGE option -- problem solved

2005-04-20 Thread Brian M. Kincaid
Hello,
My problem with mounting a FAT32 80GB disk disappeared after I
removed from my kernel config file
option MSDOSFS_LARGE
and replaced it with
option MSDOSFS
Thanks to those who responded to my earlier post.

Hmm, maybe so.  The MSDOSFS_LARGE option
was quoted as:
  The MSDOSFS_LARGE kernel option has been added to support FAT32 file
  systems bigger than 128GB. This option is disabled by default. It uses at
  least 32 bytes of kernel memory for each file on disk; furthermore it is
  only safe to use in certain controlled situations, such as read-only 
mount
  with less than 1 million files and so on. Exporting these large file
  systems over NFS is not supported.

in the 5.3-RELNOTES.
Unfortunately, I didn't read that before I put a 200 GB drive in my
USB enclosure and formatted it as FAT32, thinking that it would
work well no matter what box I hooked it to.  If only I could hack
