Olaf,
Thanks for the detailed answer.
So basically the limitations come from the OS and the file system used.
What is the best file system to use for mysql (not considering the filesize
limitations)?
Thanks
Olaf
The "best" is probably ZFS if you really are intent on make things huge,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte_File_System but check out the
very useful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems page
as well. Dunno about speed-wise, but you'd end up in an argument
centering around RAID probably?
Regards,
Phil
