TOPIC
Mac OS Standard Format Specifications
Below are some specifications and associated terminology used to
describe the Macintosh Standard format structure sometimes called HFS.
Volume
A volume is either a full disk, or a section of a disk, partitioned
into separate parts. If you partition a single drive then each
partition is considered a volume. * The maximum volume size under
System 6 and System 7 is 2 gigabytes.
System 7.5 increased that limit to 4 GB and System 7.5.2 (and later)
increases that limit to 2 terabytes on some computers, including: -
any computer that came with System 7.5.2 or newer. - (Meaning any
Macintosh computer with PCI slots)
The maximum number of volumes is theoretically limited to 173 due to
the maximum number of open files in the Mac OS. Since there are other
files that are opened when the computer boots up, the actual maximum
will vary depending upon how many other files are open by the
operating system.
The maximum file size is 2 gigabytes.
The maximum number of files on a volume is 65,536.
The maximum number of files in a folder is 32,767.
The maximum size of the data fork in a file is 2 gigabytes.
The maximum size of the resource fork in a file is 16 megabytes.
Note that AppleShare, including Personal File Sharing, has its own
volume size limitations. For more information, please see the
following Knowledge Base article: Article 15460: "AppleShare File
Server: Chart Of All Limitations"
