> What it the largest disk partition that FreeBSD can support? FreeBSD 5 uses UFS2 which uses signed 64bit sizes: irb(main):001:0> max = 2 ** 63 => 9223372036854775808 bytes irb(main):002:0> max /= 1024 => 9007199254740992 kilobytes irb(main):003:0> max /= 1024 => 8796093022208 megabytes irb(main):004:0> max /= 1024 => 8589934592 gigabytes irb(main):005:0> max /= 1024 => 8388608 terabytes irb(main):006:0> max /= 1024 => 8192 petabytes It's bigger than any existing hardware can support. :) -sc -- Sean Chittenden _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-database To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
