Only a file, not a filesystem. This problem usually touches some programs, that are not aware of file handling functions operating on 64 bit arguments. Even if the kernel supports files bigger that 2 GB, some program may encounter problems. SunOS has pretty good man-pages explaining the problem itself, compiling large-files-aware programs and explaining which utilities are large-file-aware (properly handling large files) and lage-file-safe (returning errors when given a large file, but not causing any data corruption). Yeah... here "large-file" just means "a file bigger than 2 GB". I haven't found man pages on Linux (my RedHat 7.1) about this, and I am not sure how Linux programs are prepared to handle such files. --Mariusz -- Określ Swoje potrzeby - my znajdziemy ofertę za Ciebie!
