Only a file, not a filesystem. This problem usually touches some programs= ,=20 that are not aware of file handling functions operating on 64 bit argumen= ts.=20 Even if the kernel supports files bigger that 2 GB, some program may=20 encounter problems. SunOS has pretty good man-pages explaining the problem itself, compiling=20 large-files-aware programs and explaining which utilities are=20 large-file-aware (properly handling large files) and lage-file-safe=20 (returning errors when given a large file, but not causing any data=20 corruption). Yeah... here "large-file" just means "a file bigger than 2 G= B". I haven't found man pages on Linux (my RedHat 7.1) about this, and I am n= ot=20 sure how Linux programs are prepared to handle such files. --Mariusz --=20 Okre=B6l Swoje potrzeby - my znajdziemy ofert=EA za Ciebie!
