Quick question.
I'm all mixed up now and forget weather NeXTSTEP 3.3 allowed for maximum partition sizes of 2Gb or 4Gb.
Which was it?

2 GB - OPENSTEP supports 4 GB.

I recommend 2 GB for system partition even under OpenStep as the OS printing system has a problem when the spool directories are on a 4GB partition (always says that disk is full and refuses to spool any more jobs).
Data partitions can be 4GB without problems tho when using OpenStep.

rats. :(
Well thanks anyways. Looks like I might have to start make individual partitions and mounting them under the apps directory.
You can make them 8gb under openstep if you feel like playing russian roulette with your data :P
Okay, NeXT (pun intended) problem.
I have a 2.1Gb hard drive here that I want to switch to however when it comes to formatting, because it's bigger than 2b the partitioner automatically gives me a 1Gb partition and leaves the rest alone. When I install, how do I manually tell the partitioner to do as much as it can and ignore the additional ~100Mb?

This rings a bell ; I had the same problem leaving the install process alone when I setup my sparc. I'd love to hear a solution too.
In one of my Cube under NeXT step 3.2... and have two hard drive on of 4,5 and 2,1 GB.
the 4,5 GB drive have 3 partitions 2x 2GB, 1x 500MB
the 2.1 GB drive have 2 partitions 1x 2GB, 1x ~100MB
But for its work... the fstab file is only hand make !
