It's not the size of the filesystem which vexes me (I gather Linux allows for filesystems in Terabytes), it is the size of individual files. I am looking to do some computational work on a data set of about 6Gb in size. I don't want to partion or pack the file; and as it stands 2.0.xx Linux does not allow files beyond 2Gb. _______________________________________________________________ Bryan Palmer bpalmer@pcug.org.au http://www.pcug.org.au/~bpalmer/ PO Box 167, Woden ACT 2606, Australia
