Large File Support |
Sat, Apr 7 2007 11:34 PM | Permanent Link |
PK | Tim,
I'd like to clarify the usage of "LargeFileSupport". From the code, it seems that the max file size is 4GB if this is not turned on and 128GB if this is turned on. Moreover, in EDBServer, it says that we can only turn this on in Win2000 or above. AFAIK, the Win32 API supports 64-bit file size from day one. It was the FAT16 filesystem that limits the file size. FAT32 already broke the file size limit of 4GB. So it should be ok to turn on this as long as FAT32/NTFS is in place. Is my understanding correct or did I miss anything? PK |

The Win32 file system calls will actually fail. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
