See 'Maximum On-Disk Sizes of the Filesystems' on http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html ,---- | Kernel 2.6: For both 32-bit systems with option CONFIG_LBD set and for | 64-bit systems: The size of a file system is limited to 2^73 (far too | much for today). On 32-bit systems the size of a file is limited to 2 | TiB. Note that not all filesystems and hardware drivers might handle | such large filesystems. `---- Juergen -- Juergen Kreileder, Blackdown Java-Linux Team http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/java2-status/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
