| |
I've been playing with large files (ext2fs) on the Alpha, kernel 2.1.116.
It appears I am able to create a 16 1/16 GB file - but not 16 1/8 GB file. Somewhere in between lies a limit or problem...
Now, it seems to me, it should be possible to create files large than this, even several hundred GD, am I correct?

P.S. On the Intel, we are restricted to 2GB files because of mm considerations. But, since we have a 3/1 split, why isn't the maximum file size 3GB?
