That's absurd. I'm using a 32 bit processor and I have files of 9 gigas, so having large files is not an intrinsic processor limitation. Actually, if you look at the opensuse manual, «Table 17.2. Maximum Sizes of File Systems (On-Disk Format)» <http://localhost/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/sec.filesystems.lfs.html#tab.maxsize> shows the large file support limits for NFS: File System File Size (Bytes) File System Size (Bytes) - --------------------+-------------------+---------------------------- NFSv2 (client side) 2^31 (2 GiB) 2^63 (8 EiB) NFSv3 (client side) 2^63 (8 EiB) 2^63 (8 EiB) The kernel limit for 32 bit processors is 2TiB (2^41 bytes). So, 4GiB is very far from the limit. Either there is some parameter needed somewhere, or there is a bug. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
