Re: InnoDB and raw tablespace

[Chris Nolan]

How about we just all agree that SCO's OSes can't handle large files, 
and therefore should all be avoided in favour of completely superior 
OSes, like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, NetBSD and DOS 2.11....

Chris

ext2 does not have this limitation.  It was never a limitation of the
filesystem, only kernel/glibc.  On 64bit architectures ext2 has been
handling large files for the past eight(?) years.  On 32 bit
architectures the kernel and libc have been handling large files on
ext2 for at least two years.
I hate to keep posting the same thing to this list, but I keep seeing
the same misinformation that ext2 can't handle large files.  It can.
