Re: Looking for a UNIX file system...

[Derek Atkins]

You're going to need kernel support for this. Basically, you need to
create a "virtual partition" that is larger than the file size you are
interested in.  I'm fairly sure that AIX (Rs/6000) supports this, but
I don't know how large a "virtual partition" it will support.

By virtual partition I mean the kernel takes two physical drives and
makes them look like a single drive to the user.  You will need this
functionality, or a 6-gig disk drive, to support a 6-gig file!

(IMHO: Anything that needs to create a single 6-gig file is probably
broken, and should split the file into multiple parts.)
