I have created files up to 50gb, and I'm sure other people have created larger ones. If you have a program that is having problems creating files over 2gb, the program itself is probably at fault. > Secound question is How can I change files system for example turn > FreeBSD 4.9 UFS files system to UFS2 ? or Does it possible. UFS2 is only available on FreeBSD 5, but unless you need a filesystem larger than 1TB, you don't really need UFS2. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
