E.g., I was able to create >4GB files on Ext2 filesystems on Linux/Alpha back in 1998. 64-bit POSIX systems had no such limitations. The limitation is 100% software. Specifically, 32-bit POSIX systems were not designed with various I/O structures to support greater than 32-bit volumes. That's where "Large File Support" (LFS) comes in: Linux is full 32-bit POSIX LFS if it has: - an LFS kernel - an LFS GLibC - an LFS application linked to LFS libraries Also note that: - NFS v3 is required to support LFS -- Bryan J.
