Hey gang,

How big can an HFS (aka Mac OS Standard) partition be? I always thought they could be huge, but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card with Disk Utility in OS X 10.4 & 10.5. Any partition roughly equal to 1.5 gigs results in an error message saying "Size not compatible with partition type."

But, this seems weird, since Wikipedia tells me HFS supports up to 2 TB... and I know I've used Power Macs with drives larger than 1.5 GB under 7.6 or 7.5.5... what gives?

Thanks!
