Re: LILO LBA mode.
I know I could use LBA mode. I originally used LBA mode for months but
noticed a couple of possible problems. I say possible since I can't prove
they were caused by using LBA mode.
1. My drive seemed to fill faster as if the files were using more space
than they should have. I have the same install using 450MB that was using
almost 600 in LBA mode.
2. After about 4 months in LBA mode programs began to report missing
files. When I checked manually the files were there. And I started
getting reports of the file system being out of sync.
As I said. I don't know if it was LBA causing these problems but I
haven't had it happen since I went back to normal mode.
Has anybody else noticed this? Or does anybody know for sure LBA didn't
cause this. If so I could just switch back to LBA mode and forget it.
Thanks to all for the help.
