I have a DECstation 5000/240 running Ultrix 4.2A.  It can handle local
disk partitions up to 2 GB in size.  I am installing a new AlphaServer
1000 running Digital Unix.  I understand that it will be able to handle
much larger local disk partitions.  I would like to buy some 4 GB
disks for the Alphaserver and use them as single partitions.  If I
do that, will the DECstation be able to access those >2 Gb disks via
NFS?  In other words, does the 2 GB disk partition limit in Ultrix
apply to NFS as well as local disk, or only to local disk? 

Thank you for any answers, especially if you can provide a reference
to a manual entry or have direct experience.
