This allows for files and filesystems to grow to 2^73 bytes (2^64 * 512) in size and hopefully be sufficient for quite a long time. UFS2 largely solved the storage size limits imposed by the filesystem. Unfortunately, many tools and storage mechanisms still use or assume 32 bit values, often keeping FreeBSD limited to 2TB.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure if obsd has merged the changes kirk et. al. made to the new UFS or not so ymmv.</div><div><br></div><div>-pete</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Brad Schonhorst <<a href="mailto:bschonhorst@gmail.com">bschonhorst@gmail.com</a>><br><br>Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 23:08:13 <br>To: <<a href="mailto:talk@lists.nycbug.org">talk@lists.nycbug.org</a>><br>Subject: [nycbug-talk] OpenBSD large filesystem experiences?<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>talk mailing list<br><a href="mailto:talk@lists.nycbug.org">talk@lists.nycbug.org</a><br>http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>talk mailing list<br>talk@lists.nycbug.org<br>http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk<br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
