I'm curious if the companies who support Unix on large systems made the necessary file system changes to allow individual files which are larger than 4 gigabytes ?? You'd have to at least stretch the file size in the inode beyond 32 bits and possibly mess around in the super block. Any comments ?? -- Charles Johnson Intel Scientific Computers, MS CO1-01 15201 NW Greenbrier Pkwy Beaverton, OR 97006 phone: (503)629-7605 email: cfj@isc.intel.com
