Hi, I´m running a 64bit kernel but the application is a 32bit application. So I suposse that I only can address 4Gb. But I´m still with the doubt about handling a 5G file. Can´t I open a 5 GB file with the 32bi version of vi? (in the future I will rotate them but now I have a lot of file of that size and more) Greetings, ESG 2010/3/17 Nigel Wade <nmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > ESGLinux wrote: > > Hi, > > > > are you sure? you can address 4G but for the design of the kernel you > only > > have 2GB > > I'm certain you have access to the full 4GB. > > > > > http://kerneltrap.org/node/2450 > > http://web.archive.org/web/20080424081633/lwn.net/Articles/75174/ > > > > <http://web.archive.org/web/20080424081633/lwn.net/Articles/75174/ > >thanks, > > > > ESG > > > You said you were running the 64bit kernel.
