Check it yourself. Take nbd server, make it serve sparse file 2TB in size. Easy. [I played this game of mounting 100Gig ext2 at home. Granted, I did have only 10G of real disks ;-). NBD server even has special support so you don't hit 2G limit of older kernels.] Pavel -- I'm pavel@ucw.cz. "In my country we have almost anarchy and I don't care."
