Although this falls somewhat outside the scope of this HOWTO
|
|
it cannot be denied that recently some rather large drives have
|
|
become very affordable. Drives with 10 - 20 GB are becoming
|
|
common and the question often is how best to partition such
|
|
monsters. Interestingly enough very few seem to have any problems
|
|
in filling up such drives and the future looks generally quite
|
|
rosy for manufacturers planning on even bigger drives.
|
|
<P>Opportunities for optimisations are of course even smaller
|
|
than for 2 drive systems but some tricks can still be used
|
|
to optimise track positions while minimising head movements.

<P>Remember that the <CODE>dosdata</CODE> partition is a DOS filesystem that
|
|
must be the very last partition on the drive, otherwise Windows
|
|
gets confused.
