Your advisor was right, most Linuxen sufer from a 2Gb file size limit. One way to overcome this is to use mountable storages, which you can mount from different partitions on you linux box. Search the dev list for comments on mountable storages. hth Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrei Cenja" <cnj@finsiel.ro> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 8:29 AM Subject: [Zope] Large File Support ?!
OK, I'm sorry if this question is gonna prompt bursts of laughter, but here it goes :-)
If I intend to store many files (and large ones, too) into Zope (on RHL7, BTW) - something close to a few GBs, it would mean that Zope's database will get to be one several-gigs-large file. Someone warned me of possible problems if using very large files under linux. The question is: was he right ? How does Zope cope with that ?
Thanks !
