Is this feasable with > FreeBSD ? Yes its quite feasible. The only problem might be if you have multiple processes acessing the same file at the same time. Such as you might have by sharing an email spool directory. Why would you break the filesystems up into 2G chunks? FreeBSD doesn't have a 2G problem. Does Clix have a problem with over 2G? And does it still have that problem when mounting an NFS filesystem? With that said, I have seen old systems report filesize and/or filesystem sizes wrong in ls(1) and df(1) but that didn't prevent the large NFS filesystem from being usable. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
