Hey guys,

I was just reading the intro(2) manpage and saw the following description of
EFBIG:

| 27 EFBIG File too large.  The size of a file exceeded the maximum (about
|         2.1E9 bytes).

Which is 2 GB. As far as I know, FreeBSD is capable of dealing with files
larger than 2 GB.

Shouldn't this manpage be updated?

The same manpage on NetBSD 2.0 shows the following:

| 27 EFBIG File too large.  The size of a file exceeded the maximum.  (The
|         system-wide maximum file size is 2**63 bytes.  Each file system
|         may impose a lower limit for files contained within it).

Which seems to be correct.

Yours,
