Can my B&W-gone-Debian take a harddrive larger than 128GB?
Text:
So, as Google will reveal, the PowerMac G3 B&W does not support harddrives larger than 128GB. However, with the help of a friend, I recently turned an old B&W of mine into a server running Debian. I popped a 250GB drive in, and after a couple of formatting procedures, Debian recognizes that I've got a 250GB installed. So my question is, is it safe to use, or will it be that once I get past 128GB that my data will all corrupt?
