I did a backport of temp_file_limit feature to 9.1, but when we tested

2GB is nonsense, because this is session limit of temp files, and
these files should be longer than 2GB.


I haven't read the patch but... don't all 32bit platforms have a 2GB limit
(by default)?

I don't think so.

LFS got done in the mid-90s, which is long enough ago for people to
start forgetting about it.  Are there any supported platforms that
didn't adopt LFS?

Note: "by default" :). I know they could support LFS but as I recall you had to compile specifically for it (at least on linux and old versions of pg).

So I was curious if it was that specific limitation or a limitation within the Pg code itself.

Sincerely,
