[Erik Enge] | [Morten W. Petersen] | | | It's a problem with Linux, if you want to be able to use databases > | | 2GB in size on Linux, a kernel >= 2.4.0 is required. | | Nope. First, the limit is at file-level, not database-level (mind | you, a problem with the filesystem, not Linux per se). You can have | tons and tons of files, but noone of those can be over 2GB. FileStorage type database was implicit, as we're discussing ZODB, and that's one file per database. | Secondly, this is only true for the ext2 (and «lesser» filesystems). | ReiserFS does not have this limitation and I've heard that is supposed | to be shipped «batteries included» come 2.4.1. Sorry? Didn't I say kernel version 2.4.0 or greater? The 2GB problem (in ext2) is fixed there you know. ..and a side note for ReiserFS, I've had it mess up a filesystem completely, so much for 1 second recovery after a crash. ;-) BTW, there is a list called zope-zodb@zope.org, for ZODB specific questions.
