For all of the above ext3 is the default. According to <http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/linux-file-system-native.htm> 4TB is the limit for ext3. Some other filesystems like XFS can support (much) more. Google ext2/3[1], XFS, ReiserFS(4), JFS. Fat32 (used for compatibility with Windows) supports 2GB (-1kB ?) [1] AFAIAA identical except for journalling.
Also depends on what your application is set up for. Yes, ext2/3 max filesize is 4TB, but many, many applications are not set up for largefile support and will only support 2GB files (2^31 bytes). <flame> Apache guys, if you're listening...when are you going to start using largefiles by default? I'm sorta tired of having people call me when apache quits because the log file is 2GB. Logs can get bloody huge, you know, and largefile support isn't THAT hard to put in. </flame> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Time: Nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
