Bug ID: 43963
Summary: The way to deal with FS limitations should be
documented in the specs.
Product: openZIM
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: zimlib
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Many FS (file systems) do not allow to deal with big files. For example FAT32
(the mostly used FS on USB sticks) is limited to 4GB. We have unfortunately a
lots of ZIM files which are bigger than that.
The way the zimlib deals with that limitation is to allow to split ZIM files in
smaller chunks like the UNIX tool does. But, this is not documented in the ZIM
Specs., so another implementation might choose an other approach.
To avoid incompatibility between ZIM readers and ZIM files, we should document
that too in the ZIM file format specification.
