Re: [Ubuntu-BD] Help with ext3
Ext3 is an advanced file system. It can handle a partition of 16 Terabyte (16,384 GB) and upto 2 Terabyte (2048 GB) of a single file. read on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#Size_limits so, 25GB partition limit (ha ha ha) is nothing but a funny Hoax. -- Shabab Mustafa Chief Administrative Officer Admin Office CapsLock Corporates -- Ubuntu Bangladesh | http://ubuntu-bd.org ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
