Wrong list to ask on really. Better try maybe questions@ or hackers@, but if you really are so far out of date as to be way back on FreeBSD-4.2, I'd suggest: download a CDROM copy of FreeBSD-6.4 or 7.0 & install that on a spare test partition/ disc. if you'r afraid too much may have changed on 5.* 6.* & 7.* & worried about driver compatability & ancient binaries etc, then at least upgrade to 4.11-RELEASE, which is also now Not supported, but a lot newer than 4.2. I guess your could go digging in CVS repository to see what file system limits were increased on what when, but I think 4.2 is too old to interest many unpaid enthusiasts. If this is a commercial service machine, you could pay a freelance consultant to help you, I have a geographically indexed world wide list here: http://berklix.com/~jhs/consultants/ Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey: BSDUnixLinux C Prog Admin SysEng Consult Munich www.berklix.com Mail plain ASCII text.
