Linux supports the maximum file size (can I support files larger than 4 GB )?
Data files created on Oracle (Linux)Can I support files larger than 4 GB?
A:In Linux, there are very few such stupid restrictions on file systems, but any file system is limited.
The following is an incomplete small list:
NTFS (Windows): supports up to 2 TB of partitions and 2 TB of files.
Fat16 (Windows): supports a maximum partition of 2 GB and a maximum file of 2 GB.
FAT32 (Windows): supports a maximum partition of 128 GB and a maximum file of 4 GB.
