I believe that the documentation is out of date. On my FreeBSD system I had Data.fs up to about 6GB before it ran out of disk space during a runaway (incorrectly exectued) load operation. If you look in the FileStorage source code, the comments talk about 8 byte length pointers, and there is a lot of munging of pointers using p64 and u64 utility functions. So, no, the 2GB limitation is only an OS limitation. "the future" has arrived but they forgot to update the docs. --RDM
