Yes, but Linux doesn't try to mmap partitions to mount stuff, so these limitations don't cause problems with big filesystems for it. Daniel PS - 64-bit systems technically have the same limitation, it's just that you'd need a disk with more bytes of information than the number of atoms in the known universe (or some similarly ridiculous number) to run afoul of them. -- /----------------- Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----------------\ | If we do not change our direction | | we are likely to end up where we are headed. | \------- (if (not (understand-this)) (go-to http://www.schemers.org)) --------/
