yes, i know - but it`s disappointing that not even 32bit and 64bit x86 hardware
is handled the same.
1TB limit on 32bit, less stable on 32bit.
sorry, but if you are used to linux, solaris is really weird.
issue here, limitation there....
doh!
Which is true, but so is it for Linux - you're just familiar with
Linux's limitations, so they don't seem like "limitations" anymore.
E.g.: linux handles 32-bit programs under 64-bit Linux is a much less
clean way than Solaris does. Also, 2.4 (x86) kernels have a 1TB block
device size limit, while 2.6 Linux x86 is limited to 16TB block
devices. Solaris handles many more (i.e. maximum number of) CPUs than
even the latest Linux.
It's a transitional adjustment - you don't expect a Semi to drive the
same is Hummer to drive the same as a Porche, do you?
Each OS has its strengths and weaknesses; pick your poison. It's
actually NOT a good idea for all OSes to have the same feature set.
