I have used NetBSD before, so this would not have been a problem. I should have done my homework. :-) Marco Radzinschi E-Mail: marco@radzinschi.com On Tue, 5 Nov 2002, Walter wrote: > This is no doubt heresy coming from a newbie especially, > but I was reading that NetBSD can support at least up to > 4TB: > http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/features.html#large-filesystems > > Walter > > Lowell Gilbert wrote: > > > "Joseph Gleason" <clash@tasam.com> writes: > > > > > IIRC There was a 1TB limit on the size of any filesystem (or actually of any > > > block device) in FreeBSD based the kernel internaly using a 512 byte block > > > size and having a max of 2^31 blocks.
