In Linux (without special kernel patches) there is a filesize limit of 2GB and fsck is slow. It's my memory that fsck is much faster on FreeBSD due to some magic in the filesystem. Is this the case? (My 46GB disks would like that) I have no memory of any filesize limitation on FreeBSD and would like to know if there is anything similar to the Linux 2GB limit? //Gunnar Isaksson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
