But an lmdd writing to a file in 250GB partition that I started from Solaris last night is still going. The NetBSD && FreeBSD writes both stopped at 4GB. I suppose it still could be the server, but, well, it's hard to sell against something that "just works"... .:-) On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Dan Nelson wrote: > > > In the last episode (Jan 25), Matthew Jacob said: > > > I came across an embarrassing comparison last night- > > > > > > FreeBSD NFS clients (well, i386) stop writing files at 4GB. > > > > > > Solaris, with O_LARGEFILE options in the open arguments, does not. > > > > > > Does anyone here know what FreeBSD ought to be doing about this?
