Ofcourse, you're right. But currently my ext2 Linux filesystem
is limited to 2 Gb.
What filesystem are you using that support files bigger
than 2Gb?
I think implementing striping (although easy) is not worth
the trouble. I can live with the 2Gb limit for now
(currently stress testing the code). As soon as the host environment
offers large filesizes, then we can use them (Kevin used 64 bit
offsets in the cache plugin, and harddrv.cc will need some minor
modification
for 64bit calculation)
I wonder if e.g. using the "devfs" filesystem would lift the
2Gb limit of real partitions? Has someone devfs up and running and
could he/she test if llseek works on the equivalent of /dev/hda
for offsets larger than 2Gb?
