If I am not mistaken this limit was valid in the past on ext2 file systems. In 1999 Siemens AG introduced the 4 GB patch for ext2. XFS claims to support bigger files (see http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/features.html) : "For Linux 2.4, the maximum accessible file offset is 16TB on 4K page size and 64TB on 16K page size. As Linux moves to 64 bit on block devices layer, file size limit will increase to 9 million terabytes (or the system drive limits)." ReiserFS version 3.6 claims (see http://www.reiserfs.org/features.html) : "max file size = 2^60-1 bytes => 1 Ebytes, but page cache limits this to 17.6 Tbytes on architectures with 32 bit int". -- Fred Mobach - fredat_private - postmasterat_private Systemhouse Mobach bv - The Netherlands - since 1976 website : http://fred.mobach.nl Safe Harbour for encumbered Free and Open Source software and links: http://apache.dataloss.nl/~fred/ _______________________________________________ LogAnalysis mailing list LogAnalysisat_private http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis
