What are the limits for ffs filesystems? For ffs filesystems, the maximum theoretical limit is 8 terabytes (2G blocks), or 16TB for the default block size of 8K. In practice, there is a soft limit of 1 terabyte, but with modifications filesystems with 4 terabytes are possible (and exist). The maximum size of a single ffs file is approximately 1G blocks (4TB) if the block size is 4K. maxfilesize ---------------------------------- 2.2.7 3.0 fs block size -stable -current works should-work ------------- ------- -------- ----- ----------- 4K 4T-1 4T-1 4T-1 4+T 8K 32+G 8T-1 32+G 16T-1 16K 128+G 16T-1 128+G 32T-1 32K 512+G 32T-1 512+G 64T-1 64K 2048+G 64T-1 2048+G 128T-1 > Albert Everett > aeverett@webintl.com > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.
