IIRC, ext3 has an 8 TB or 16 TB limit (depending on the options at FS creation time). Also, xfs has a limit in the petabyte range and has hugely better performance on very large filesystems. IBM's JFS is similar to XFS. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
