The limitation is because the whole partition is mapped into the file systems address space. The same technique is used in ufs as is ext2fs and hence the same limitation applies (as will the same fix). The implementation is limited in the sense that Pietro is asking, if I have understood his intention correctly. The specification of the file system, as you rightly point out, is not limited to 2GB. > The > implementation of ext2 was because of the 32bit architecture (x86) and > that the filesystem was not mapped, iirc. Same with UFS, if we even > support it, what I can'T check atm :) I am confused by what you are saying here. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
