Oops -- my bad...I guess I never ran into that problem in the "old" days. I know I used to write 2Gig+ files on 32-bit Linux before it was popular. So...perhaps the next logical question is...can this guy's user put NFSV3 or such on? Would be a lot easier than writing your own split-VFS which I think is asking for trouble. Michael D.

From the phrasing of the rest of your email, I assume you meant for this to be "NFSv2 *isn't* something...". And technically that is true. NFS won't limit the filesize. However, NFSv2 has a very well known limitation, in that network clients could only access the first 2GB worth of a file. That effectively limits the usable filesize to 2GB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_%28protocol%29#NFSv2 There are still many systems (especially embedded ones) out there that only support NFSv2. Like TFTP, it is a dead simple protocol that requires almost no state, a very simple networking stack, and is very easy to cram into a very limited code space -j > > Generally what limits filesize is the operating system and associated > compilation flags like Pavel mentioned. > > What makes you or your "user" think their system is limited to 2GB? > What OS are they using and what OS are you using?
