Sun Solaris and 2.0Gb limit
Years ago, I seem to remember some sort of size limit within Solaris - is it 2.0Gb max size of a file? (This is on "SunOS machinename 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R). Can you can make filesystems any size you want. :confused:

ulimit -a should return as "unlimited" for file size , I think this default on Sol9 .

Steve ulimit reports what the current user has been limited to and not what the system can do. With Sol2.5.1 and below the max file size was 2g as open/read/write used a 32 bit offset. When 2.6 was released a open64() etc, system call was introducted allowing a 2tb file size to be created. With Solaris 9 and ufs the limit is higher enough not to worry ;) May need to look at the manual page mount_ufs(1M) and largefile(5) or just ask on scoobynet :rolleyes: |
