I'm seriously considering replacing my Consensys V4 system with Linux
within the next month or two. Only one thing is making me hesitant
at this time -- support of large disk subsystems/file structures.
I've run up against this problem, due to my having a '/u1' file
system on my 2nd hard drive, a 676 Mb ESDI drive. I was able to get around the
problem with SVR4's default inode settings, along with modifying some
of the disk parameters for mkfs, but I'm not sure if this has yet been
tackled by any of the extended file structures now in alpha/beta testing.
Is there anyone out there who has implemented a large file structure
(a single file structure of size > 512Mb)? Could you give some insight
as to what you found???

p.s. My first drive is a 340 Mb ESDI drive, which is divided up into
several partitions for SVR4. The 2nd drive is used for my Usenet feed.
