There is a standard answer for this somewhere in the archives as there is a limit to the size of a FreeBSD file. Its not the pathetic 2G that previous Linux filesystems have been limited to. Whatever FreeBSD's filesize limit is, I suspect nobody has ever reached it. Disk drives are not big enough yet. Not even combining with RAID. I'v casually pushed 6G to 15G files around in FreeBSD for years. -- 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.
