Thank you very much! Does the file system size limit of 1TB effectively limit the maximum file size to 1TB as well or can a file span file systems?

Filesystem size: 1 TB (limited by the block device layer, but that should be increased in 2.5.) --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
