Re: FileSystem Sizes
If I remember (off the top) correctly, lseek() is/was the limiting factor on filesystem sizes... At one time, this was 32bit, so max addressable filesystem size was 2GB. Has this changed? i.e. what is the max ext2 filesystem size? It changed a long time ago. I used a 9 Gb partition without problems more than a year ago. I think it is the file size that was limited to 2GB, not the partition size. I suppose this is still the case. Eric Meijer -- E.L.

Max filesystem size is no longer limited (well, there is a limit but you can't get a hard drive big enough to exceed it). The llseek() call was added to provide manipulation of larger files and filesystems. -- Scott K.
