Linux Filesystems

[Marco_113]

Hi all,
i've some questions about linux filesystems ext3
I'm using RedHat AS 3 update 6.

When i create a filesystem with mkfs.ext3, in which case i should consider the possibility to use the "-T largefile" option???

What is the limit size of a file in a filesystem accepted if the fs has not been created with -T largefile option???

And finally if i create a fs ext3 with -T largefile option, when i mount it, i 've to specify some parameters?

How can i see if a mounted fs has largefile option? The df command doesn't show it

Thanks in advance ,
Marco

The -T option is used to specify the type of files that normally will be used in that file system. It does not incides in the file size limit. Its used to specify the ammount of inodes that will be created for the file system.

For file size maximums, consult the following page:
