It definitely is!

Yes I did that too, I only forgot to mention it. I almost thought that
this was the solution, cause my machine was running from wednesday 9pm
and more than 10 hours (mostly idle-ing) without any problem. However
when I got home from work today it had crashed, approximately 1 hour
after I left home this morning. And during this hour it did nothing
but idle-ing.

But are not all the sets from v1.2 statically linked?

IDEFS starts with partition 4. I tried to remove the 'add 4' part without
any better results. Maybe I did not do it right? Could you name the line
that has to be changed?

If I understand you right, UnixFS should be able to access partitions
greater than 2GB? Have you actually tried it?

I see that now, after scrutinizing mountufs.

A good idea, why didn't I think of that (first)?  :-)

I know, but I never make mistakes!
If I mess up anything I do it on purpose :-)
Besides I have to justify the purchase of my SONY SDT-7000 DAT streamer :-)

I will try that next time.
