You can't find documentation of a limit because there isn't any limit. There could be some minor problems if it exceeds 8 exabytes, because that's the limit of 64 bit addressing. If you exceed 8 exabytes, you might do a "df -h" and get an odd number of bytes back in the free or size fields, but I'm guessing that 8 exabytes is not much of an obstacle just yet. >> He's been told 128 TB, but wants a firm number from Sun. >> >> I have a question regarding NFS V3 client support from Solaris.

There is no limit of the number of remote file systems to mount, nor is there a limit on the size of a mount, or any limit on the aggregate of all remote mounts. >> NFS V3 server should support up to 128TB by the protocol.

V4 is no different, and neither is pNFS (NFSv4.1). blw
