While you are correct that the *numbering* begins at zero, we are talking
about an absolute number of bits here (as denoted by the mathematical
notation 2^31).

Because it's a signed long. Setting the 32nd bit would make it a negative
number.

It depends on what file system your s
Is there a maximum file size with a samba share. When I back up a Win 2000
server to a samba box it halts at just over 2 Gig.
Any suggestions ??

The maximum file size on a 32 bits machine (ix86, mac, ppc, atari and
the like) is 2147483648 bytes (2^31 => 2Gb).
Is it enough ?

AFAIK, Linux as such doesn't have a limitation, but the ext2 filesystem
doesn't allow files larger than 2GB. I have no idea how feasible it
would be to modify ext2 to remove this limitation, but if anybo
What is the maximum size of a single file that Linux can handle ?
Any way to tweak it so that can have much bigger file size ?
