Also note that the limit discussed is for *filesystem* size. Not drive size. Even if the disk itself might be quite large it is not unusual that some of the filesystems on the disk are fairly small. (For example '/' '/var' and '/tmp' are often separate filesystems smaller than 1 GB.) -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
