List-Id: XFS Filesystem from SGI List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: xfs-bounces@oss.sgi.com Sender: xfs-bounces@oss.sgi.com To: xfs-oss Ok, lemme rephrase my questions... The man page lists maximums for values at 64K, and names at 255 characters. This implies these are the only limits one need worry about -- i.e. there is no limit on the maximum number of 255 byte names nor is there a limit on the sum of the values of attributes. Is it something like 2^60 bytes? or some such limit that no one will ever hit? Could I store alternate soundtracks for movies in attribute fields, or alternate scenes for movies? _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
