I don't think this is the case by default; the 2gb limit is a pre-existing limitation in ext2, which is the default filesystem in Linux 2.4. Not until Linux 2.4.1 did an alternate filesystem add features to remove this barrier (ReiserFS), and it is not the default. In addition to ReiserFS, SGI's XFS and IBM's AFS seem to address large file support and are all avilable as patches to the mainstream kernel. However, doesn't Python impose some sort of limit as well? Anyone have a number? Does this depend on the architecture of the machine (i.e. 64 vs. 32 bit)?

the file size limit of zope/zeo... is it true that it only runs below 2GB... that when it reaches 2GB it will stop working...
Check out http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/PartitionedFileStorage Also, if you run Linux kernel >= 2.4 there's no limit. _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
