With the standard 8K block size, this means you can have a filesystem 16TB big, and a file 8TB big. Either the 2 gigablock limit is for filesystems or partitions, I can't quite remember which one it is... no matter, it's damn big is all that matters! I'm certain about the file size limitation. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@usrlib.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
