| So with 64-bit machines we are limited by filesystem internal
| limits, not VFS.
|
| With EXT2 the limit is a bit more complex to tell; it depends
| at the block-size in the filesystem, and ultimately it is
| limited to be 4G blocks of 512 bytes which is limit for all
| block devices in Linux. (And ext2 can't span multiple devices;
| a MD RAID* is just *one* device for ext2 ...)
I'm running 2.2.2-ac5 on a LX164 (Microway Screamer) and have no
problems creating >2GB files on a single disk (tested with 6GB).
However, I have plans to raid0 two 18GB-disks and share them out to
windoze-machines via Samba. The windoze-machines will create
(swap)files up to 25-30GB. Does anyone know if that will be a problem
with either the raid0-software or Samba?
