I'm getting to the point where I might upgrade a flash-modded ipod to greater than 2Tb total storage. I realise there are some big problems in doing that - am curious whether they are likely to be insurmountable.
I'm frankly confused about the whole topic. I gather FAT32 can cope with larger partitions, by using larger cluster sizes, but the problem is with the limitations of MBR? And, I gather Rockbox itself would need major work to use GPT? (and it's not likely to happen for a long time, if ever). Or would using different cluster sizes in itself create a problem?
There's also the question of whether Windows could see the disk properly in order to sync files to it.
How about using more than one partition? Would that be a possible workaround? (Is the limit on partition size or on total disk size?)
I'll most likely just carry on increasing the ipods I have towards 2TB (upgrading the smallest one, then making a new one with the cards removed, and so on...), but every time 1Tb cards come down in price I get tempted and wonder about the possibility of exceeding that limit.
