Nobody has been able to find a straight answer... First, what is the largest file size on a system? Is the limit part of the filesystem structure, or just the kernel code? Second, what is the maximum file system size? Again, where does the limit lie, in the filesystem structure, or in the kernel? Finally, how many processors does the SMP code support in FreeBSD? Does it run well with this many processors, or less than that? Thanks. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
