Oh, and before I forget: this option is defined in /sys/conf/NOTES as well (a pure #ifdef in source code is not enough, of course :-) --- # Experimental support for large MS-DOS filesystems. # # WARNING: This uses at least 32 bytes of kernel memory (which is not # reclaimed until the FS is unmounted) for each file on disk to map # between the 32-bit inode numbers used by VFS and the 64-bit # pseudo-inode # numbers used internally by msdosfs. This is only safe to use in # certain # controlled situations (e.g. read-only FS with less than 1 million # files). # Since the mappings do not persist across unmounts (or reboots), these # filesystems are not suitable for exporting through NFS, or any other # application that requires fixed inode numbers. options MSDOSFS_LARGE --- Regards, -- Rink P.W.
