FreeBSD has supported 64-bit file sizes for at least 6 years. You should be able to create a file as large as your filesystem. I have a 15gb datafile on one of my machines at the moment, and have created 25gb ones in the past with no problems. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
