GPT is actually the LABEL type for the whole disk, and not the partition type. iirc, fat16 has a 2GB max due to inherent limitations, and FAT32/VFAT starts to get sketchy somewhere north of 128GB, but tthe absolute max size is 2TB with standard sector sizes. FAT32 also has a max single file size of 4GB anyways, for sharing data between windows and unix systems, I highly recommend this thing called 'networking'. put the disk on a server or NAS and share it with SMB (for windows clients) and/or NFS (for unix/linux clients). -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
