Hopefully I'm not adding another useless post, but truthfully, I've almost
stopped using Linux due to the 2GB file limit. I have tar files over 2GB
routinetly. I've been pretty much forced to switch to Solaris. Now, my
question is, does UFS supporting writing to the disks, because, Solaris UFS
supports files over 2GB. Could we make a UFS root partition?
