ufs filesystem

[spirit30]

Hi all,

I am using unixware 7.1.3 how can i create a ufs partition that is greater than 2GB? is there a restriction on partitions or is it on files only?

Best Regards

there used to be some limitations in Solaris/ufs, I think until Solaris 2.6; in newer releases with 64bit Support there is afaik only the 64bit Adress Limit, both for File and Filesystem.
Do you get errors or is this a precautionary question (hope "precautionary" is ok?!)

Thaks for the reply,

When i was creating slices i made mkfs -F UFS /dev/c0b0t0d0s0 40000000 whatever the size i give for that partition the size does not exceed the 2 GB. In Solaris it is not a problem, but i am using unixware 7.1.3.

the ufs implementation may be totaly different, Solaris uses open64() systemcalls, wich indicate, that the adressroom is 64bit large, I don't know the unixware systemcalls to doublecheck wether you enter wrong params or ufs on Unixware supports filesystems till 2GB
I guess it's a ufs-Unixware limit
