Hi all,
I've a 4246 GB (above 4TB) using NFSv2 to export it. Some application=20
are generating estrange errors, so it's possible I'm facing a NFS limit=
?=20
How large can a be to be exported without problems?
I'm using a 32bits architecture.
Thanks!
Jordi

If you are using NFSv3, then this may not be an NFS limitation at all. I seem to recall that some Linux kernels had issues with file systems larger than 2TB.
