We never tested this, but should not be. AFAIR, UBIFS theoretical limitation should be something like 16TB, but I tried tested the maximum file size. > I have tried enabling the kernel ‘Support for large block > devices and files’ under ‘Enable the block layer’, but the 2G limit > persists. UBIFS has nothing to do with block devices. This is a very specialized FS for bare flashes: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_rednote So that option has no effect for UBIFS. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
