I have a large DivX movie collection, and many of which are more then 2.5GB in size to keep a decent picture and sound quality.

What is the maximum filesize supported by the Linux used by NASLite-2?

Far in excess of 2.5GB. I have created files in excess of 8GB with no problem.

Cool - thanks for that.

Even though I have dabbled in Linux, I don't really know anything specific about the ext2 or ext3 filesystems, so I needed to check to be sure.

We can assume that NL is completely LFS compliant since I have had files larger than 2GB on mine with no problem.

The roughly approximated answer is around 9,223,372,036 Gigabytes give or take a few hundred Gigs. This accurate enough for you?

Which equates to (presumably) 2^63-1. Seems a shame that they used a signed 64-bit integer for this task. Filesize, like length, cannot be negative....

LOL, does it really mater since the size is so stupid large that in reality it will never be reached by 99.99999999999999% of applications out there, at least in our time that is.

Oh...my...God...
:o

I thought it might be around 16GB maybe 32GB maximum, but looks like I was way off.
