I believe they support the same max file size, which is a relatively paltry 2TB (definitely the case on ext3). XFS supports much larger files, not sure how large though. Max I've tried on XFS is 16TB, which it handles w/o a complaint. Brief poking suggests 16TB is the upper limit on a 32-bit system, while its 8 exabytes on a 64-bit system. -- Jarod Wilson [hidden email] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
