What is the biggest file system > that can be created with FreeBSD 3.0? Many gig. I personally had a 120-gig volume for a while (but split it into two 60-gig volumes for backup purposes), and I think that even larger volumes were created during testing of the ccd device. I'm sure one of the fs coders will pop up and give the exact maximum for both filesystems and filesizes. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
