Hi All,
Can somebody please tell me ASAP whether or not Linux 7.0 has a max file size and what it is?? 1GB, 2GB ???

Thanks

Tim

it depends on the kernel.. 2.4.x or later can support over 2 gig i believe..

Thanks TrickyKid,

Do you know perhaps what the max file size is kernel 2.2.16???

iirc, there was something in theregister.co.uk saying it was actually somewhere around 40TB now.

2.2.x kernel systems seem to be limited to 2g, before patching the kernel.

2.2 had a filesize limit of 2 gb... 2.4 had the same limitation for early versions... IIRC, but it's up to 40 tb now.
