Re: [TCLUG:21765] file limit?

Actually, the file size limit is file system limit, not a Linux
limit.  ext2 has a file size limit of 2GB on 32-bit systems.
ReiserFS is larger, I believe, and if you're running
Windows, NTFS has unlimited file size on 32-bit systems.

It all depends on the quality of the file system.

Hmmm... trying to create a 4 GB tarball on a RedHat 6.2 box.  At about 1
GB, it just sort of stops.  I know Linux has a file size limit.  Anyone
know if that limit is 1 GB?
