Where on earth would you find a disk system that can store 2^64 bytes of data or larger, anyway? Don't physical and technological limitations limit the total capacity of even the largest hard drives now available? It would take millions of drives, or more, to create a single 2^64 byte logical drive. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
