power mac g4 hd limit?
i have a "digital audio"
i've seen some people saying the most the harddrive reads is 128gb but also that there are workarounds will that be a problem with debian? i plan to use it as a server thanks |
That seems pretty likely given the age of the G4. The best way to get around this limitation would be to drop in a more modern PCI IDE controller and use that.
A newer controller would get around the LBA limitation which is reason enough for the upgrade, but in addition, having some personal experience with early Apple IDE controllers, I can tell you that the built in ones are not very good. I have gotten a number of odd failures and glitches when using new IDE drives with the internal controllers on G3/G4 machines. |

Yep, no 128GB + support from the Digital Audio G4. |
