- Subject: 4GB limit on FAT32
Hi all,
I was just playing with two partitions (m: NTFS, x: FAT32) to check
whether the 4GB limit is still there:
Admin@t636 ~
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/m/size.test bs=100M count=47
47+0 Datens"atze ein
47+0 Datens"atze aus

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/x/size.test bs=100M count=47
dd: Schreiben von "/x/size.test": No space left on device

$ uname -a

unknown Cygwin
Obviously it is. Is this the expected behaviour? I thought using SP2 on
XP eliminates this restriction. Can anybody explain this?
Oliver.
