A discussion I had with Alex Shnitman and some posts we read on Slashdot
left both of us quite confused regarding Linux' support for file-lengths
over 2 GB. (i.e. in the 64-bit range).
We know that on ext2 on a 32-bit machine Linux does has a limit of 64-bit
for a its file-lengths. The question is:
1. Does the Linux VFS (Virtual File System) supports 64-bit file-lengths
on 32-bit architectures?
2. Does the Linux VFS supports 64-bit file-lengths on 64-bit
architectures?
3. Does the ext2 file-system support 64-bit file-lengths at all. If so,
is it only possible to create files over 2GB when Linux is running on a
64-bit architecture?
If someone can clarify this subject, please do.
Thanks in advance,
