Last I checked, Linux vfat has a limit of 2GB. But this is because Linux driver hasn't been updated for new largefile api, and is not a limitation of the filesystem itself. (Linux/x86 used to have file size limit of 2GB regardless of filesystem but that has changed with 2.4) > > This is what is said here: > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/default.asp?url=/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/choosing_between_NTFS_FAT_and_FAT32.asp That didn't work for me. This did: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/choosing_between_NTFS_FAT_and_FAT32.asp (BTW that web page doesn't mention linux at all.) > > > > _______________________________________________ > Qemu-devel mailing list > Qemu-devel@nongnu.org > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel > -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
