[TriLUG] file size limit

[Chris MacLeod]

With solaris you have to mount ufs partitions with the 'largefiles'
option in order to write anything larger than 2GB.  Unless you are
running solaris in 64bit mode (on a compatible 64bit architecture -yes I
knew someone that tried-) then partitions are automatcialy mounted with
the largefiles option.  If I remember right most modern solaris
installations default to having largefiles on.  (anything after 7) but 
I haven't played around with 8 or 9 so I can't say for sure.

Stick
